My guess is that the aliens-control-the-universe-shard scenario is net-positive, but that it loses orders of magnitude of cosmopolitan utility compared to the “cognitively constrained humans” scenario.
Why? How?
It seems like something weird is happening if we claim that we expect human values to be more cosmopolitan than alien values. Is that what you’re claiming?

That’s what he’s claiming, because he’s claiming “cosmopolitan value” is itself a human value. (Just a very diversity-embracing one.)
