Why wouldn’t I just discard the preferences, and use the mind that came up with them to generate entirely new preferences

What makes you think a mind came up with them?

  I don’t understand what point you’re making; could you expand?

    You can’t use the mind that came up with your preferences if no such mind exists. That’s my point.

      What would have come up with them instead?

        In the sense that evolution came up with my mind, or in some more direct sense?
