I’d consider it. On reflection, I think that for me personally what I care about isn’t just minds of any kind having their preferences satisfied, even if those are harmless ones. I think I probably would like them to have more adventurous preferences! The point is, what I’m looking at here are my preferences for how the world should be; whether I would prefer a world full of wire-headers or one full of people doing awesome actual stuff. I think I’d prefer the latter, even if overall the adventurous people didnt’ get as many of their preferences satisfied. A typical wire-header would probably disagree, though!
So you, like I, might consider turning the universe into minds that most value a universe filled with themselves?

Fair.
