What’s wrong with Uni’s claim? If you have unlimited power, one possible choice is to put all the other sentient beings into a state of euphoric intoxication such that they don’t hate you. Yes, that is by definition. Go figure out a state for each agent so that it doesn’t hate you and put it into that state, then you’ve got a counter example to Billy’s claim above. Maybe a given agent’s former volition would have chosen to hate you if it was aware of the state you forced it into later on, but that’s a different thing than caring if the agent itself hates you as a result of changes you make. This is a valid counter-example. I have read the coming of age sequence and don’t see what you’re referring to in there that makes your point. Perhaps you could point me back to some specific parts of those posts.
