So should I compare my every action with what natural selection/Alien God tells me I should do?
If I’m following you Eliezer, I should be thinking ‘the Alien God tells me I should counter this argument with a right hook to the chops. My rationality tells me I shouldn’t. Whither this difference? Is it a bias; rationalisation, false justification; or is it some ethereal, abstract entity known as ‘morality’? To whom should I listen, and why?′
Should I internalise the disinterested Alien God so that I can see reality ‘for what it truly is’, or so that I’m more likely to pass my genes on? Or both?
