Aww. Darn. It was a fun grandiose delusion while it lasted.
Ok. Children are preferred to, say, famous oil paintings or dogs, for evolutionary reasons. There are human natural terminal values involved. But are you saying there are no terminal values detached from our evolutionary history—no reason beyond “that’s the way we’re put together” for us to eg: prefer mind to automaton?
Does this imply an alien with a different history could share no terminal values at all with us?
