There is a separate question about what beliefs about morality people (or more generally, agents) actually hold and there is another question about what values they will hold if when their beliefs converge when they engulf the universe.
This is poetry! Hope you don’t mind me pasting something here I wrote in another thread:
“With unobjectionable values I mean those that would not automatically and eventually lead to one’s extinction. Or more precisely: a utility function becomes irrational when it is intrinsically self limiting in the sense that it will eventually lead to ones inability to generate further utility. Thus my suggested utility function of ‘ensure continued co-existence’
This utility function seems to be the only one that does not end in the inevitable termination of the maximizer.”
Excellent, excellent point Jack.
