You are correct that there is a possibility of divergence even there. But, I figure that there’s simply no way to narrow CEV to literally just me, which, all other things being equal, is by definition the best outcome for me. So I will either stand or fall alongside some group that is loosely “roughly middle-of-the-range-politically, intelligent, sane westerners.”, or in reality probably some group that has that group roughly as a subgroup.
And there is a reason to think that on many things, those who share both my genetics and culture will be a lot like me, sufficiently so that I don’t have much to fear. Though, there are some scenarios where there would be divergence.
You seem uncharacteristically un-skeptical of convergence within that very large group, and between that group and yourself.

For example: All your stuff should belong to me. But I’d let you borrow it. ;)
