Define ultimate. Actual ultimate excludes any privacy for anyone.
I suppose I should say freedom of relevant information. Things that fall into the net of privacy generally don't benefit the public to know. I'm focused more on scientific research, software code, things like that. Things the public benefits from the sharing of.
How do you feel about information hazards?
Good question, and a difficult one to answer comprehensively. Generally I'd say if the information is sufficiently dangerous to know, then destroying that knowledge for -everyone- including the original possessor of that knowledge is a reasonable choice. The knowledge of how precisely to make a nuclear bomb is not necessarily going to benefit anyone. But given something where that isn't an option, such as mapping a virus to attempt to fight it, I'd say the information still should be available.
Mind you, I recognize this is an idealistic viewpoint. But I also recognize I will not be the end arbiter of informational dissemination. I just seek to get us closer to the point where someone else can agonize over these issues.

It's definitely "scary" for right-wingers and the like.
I can't go into that many details but right now Item 1 is to seem like a functional adult human being. Progress has been ermm.. challenging.
Whats the plan as best as you can outline? No pressure, just wat are the steps?
I'm sure it's around here somewhere.
I commit foodcrimes. The latest on the agenda is some dessert ramen my friend had in a dream. It consists of a sweet broth, sour straws, tapioca perals, orange slices, and a panko fried candy bar. Currently trying to source gummy narutomaki and figure out which candy bar to fry.
To enable and enhance epistemic instability. The more sure you are, the less sure you should be.
You sound pretty sure about that.
Do I? I'm not so sure.

Bikes. People should use cars, especially in cities. And I say that without qualifiers.

Surely you mean Our Computer, comrade.
