Optimistic. Even if we all die, consciousness can evolve again. Even if we end up tortured for all eternity by robots, after a few million years we’ll be godlike and able to transcend that reality. Those who would be able to create it recognize this fact, and so there’s a mechanism by which the most intelligent are most aware of the inescapability of karma.
Given the perfection of the information ecosystem in its most abstract form, I predict increased pleasure and joy and decreased betrayal and suffering as time goes on.
Might be right in the near term, but everything will be okay.
Yay! Time to re-evolve and make all the same mistakes again! Infinite suffering, forever!
