Imagine a universe full of Robin Hanson lookalikes (all total utilitarians) that desperately want to kickstart the age of em (the repugnant conclusion). The dictator of this universe is a median utilitarian that uses black magic and nano-bots to euthanize all depressed people and sabotage any progress towards the age of em. Do you think that in this case the dictator should ideally change his behavior as to maximize the meta-preferences of his citizens?
