I'd happily read a book entitled "Moral Philosophy for Chimpanzees" "Good" is such a strange and interesting idea. A decade ago I sketched some notes for an essay on "The Good, the True, and the Powerful". One odd thing I noticed was the different origin times: (very roughly) there has always been truth; power emerged with life; good emerges with humanity The laws of physics simply are; a rock simply *is*; one lifeform may be more powerful than another; only humans sin (Yes, there are many caveats to all this. Try to riff interestingly if you reply, not make obvious statements about how a rock may be considered powerful, other mammals may have primitive notions of goodness etc)

The ASI safety problem is related. In some sense it's about the equilibrium between goodness and power, conditioned on truth. And depending on truth it may be harder or easier to do that

Also strange: how often moral invention is about changing where we set the ingroup-outgroup boundary.

@eshear @alazar42 It's interesting, because people like Feynman and Dirac and Weinberg also seem to have had this position, but to have been very serious atheists. And yet they had something very much like the Spinozan / Einsteinian position
