Habryka: improving world isn't takeover; CEV empowers others
ohabryka · x · 2026-08-15
Habryka responds to the debate over 'taking over the world', arguing that improving the world necessarily changes power structures, but the key is whether it empowers others. He believes CEV (Coherent Extrapolated Volition) is about empowerment, and spreading democracy or implementing CEV is not taking over the world. He criticizes the opponent for using non-central meanings of words to mislead.
