Well, that's an ambiguous answer if I've ever heard one (and technically wrong, too, since Downside doesn't catch things on Syntropy).
Stella/Golden/Pattern (plus others, I guess, but you guys seem like the most likely), you did check for other sentient life in the universe, right? Given your general utilitarian motives, it seems like it wouldn't make sense to devote nearly as much time to fine-tuning Earth and humanity if there are much bigger net welfare gains to be had elsewhere first. This seems especially important now that you know they definitely exist in Syntropy.
