gollark: Your analogy is unhelpful.
gollark: (*On human bee density maximization*, GTech™ truth cuboid 6145722.3, 2026)
gollark: Now, all humans are approximately bee density maximizers.
gollark: As a hypothetical bee density maximizer, it is obvious that I would not in fact want to die, since this would reduce future bee density; even though my future bee-density-maximizing self, due to not existing, would not be around to care, since I care about future things (or, well, estimations of future things?), it would be incorrect to die, as this would reduce estimated future bee density.
gollark: Yes it is. Their argument is wrong and bad.
