More generally: given all the above, why should I care whether or not what humans and Babykillers have with respect to this baby is a disagreement? What difference does that make?
If you disagree with someone, and you’re both sufficiently rational, then you can expect to have a good shot at resolving your disagreement by arguing. That doesn’t work if you just have fundamentally different motivational frameworks.
I don’t know if I agree that a disagreement is necessarily resolvable by argument, but I certainly agree that many disagreements are so resolvable, whereas a complete difference of motivational framework is not.
If that’s what EY meant to convey by bringing up the question of whether Humans and Babykillers disagree, I agree completely.
As I said initially: “Humans and Babykillers as defined will simply never agree about how the universe would best be ordered.”
