Yes, human development .. the equation that was left out of all this, simply because thought experiment in itself is imperfect in form.. the doors to reality aren't there. Thought experiments have gross limitations and we need to be seeing that even as we partake.
So, where do you think your development will take you .. to a desire to be happy? Do you believe your happiness will move human development forward? And in moving human development "forward" is that the most important thing? I mean, would the aliens WANT us to move forward? Maybe we're their Rats.. dirty, disease-ridden pests ...
