Emile comments on Value Deathism

[Emile]

But that may not be what Ben implied when saying

I think it is ok (if not ideal) if our descendants’ values deviate from ours, as ours have from our ancestors.

(I read it as “our ancestors” meaning “the ancient Greeks”, not, “early primates” but I may be wrong)

In a certain sense “primordial single celled replicator” may be an even more relevant comparison than either. Left free to deviate Nash would weed out those pesky ‘general primate values’.
