Good sociopolitical breakdown.

But biases aren't the whole story - there's a lot of logic in play. And way more of it is deployed on one side than the other...

personally i am not sure how useful logical reasoning is in exploring the "phase space" of super intelligence. my intuition would be anything short of a super intelligence would be pretty bad at sampling from that space.

i do think something like computational complexity theory could say a few things, but probably not too much that is interesting or specific

like with a kid parents set initial conditions but environment and genes tend to overrule them eventually

Yeah. But if we get it wrong, we're all dead. So we have to try.
