OK, interesting. I agree this is a double crux. For reasons I’ve explained above, it doesn’t seem like circular reasoning to me, it doesn’t seem like I’m assuming that goals are by default unbounded and consequentialist etc. But maybe I am. I haven’t thought about this as much as you have, my views on the topic have been crystallizing throughout this conversation, so I admit there’s a good chance I’m wrong and you are right. Perhaps I/we will return to it one day, but for now, thanks again and goodbye!
