There are two kinds of inconsistency, are both dealt with in CEV?
There is internal inconsistency of an individual’s (each individual’s?) morality. Things like pushing the fat guy onto the trolley tracks to save 5 skinny guys.
There is also (possibly) inconsistency between individual humans. A smart good friend of mine over the last 40 years has very different politics from mine, suggesting a different set of values. Sure we agree you shouldn’t kill random people in the city and on like that. But it seems we disagree on the kinds of things that justify forced collective action (taxation, laws). As a simple and frustrating example, he would like to see flag-burning illegal, that is nuts to me.
Is there a plan to have CEV handle the differences in values between different humans? And where do we draw the line at human: a sociopath is pretty obviously human, must CEV be consistent with both my values and a sociopath’s values? If not, are we just picking a subset of humanity, defining a “we” and a “they” and developing “our” CEV?
