What would you want your values to do if you lived two thousand+ years? And did you have a firm answer to that question before I asked it? Would most people?
I prefer that I would still have meta-meta value to be alive. If it holds and works, I can enjoy the play of all possible values and their combinations on lower levels. I have been thinking before about it, may be not in the exact the same wording.
Most people never think in this way, but their preference may be learned from experiments—for example, it is well known how much would people pay for preserving their life for 1 year.
It was estimated based on meta-analysis of 42 studies, that humans are ready to pay between $100K-400K for QALY, that is only for one year (Hirth, Chernew, Miller, Fendrick, & Weissert, 2000), while the median household income at the time of the study was only $37,000 in inflation non-adjusted dollars (US Census Bureau, 1997).
