TurnTrout comments on [Hebbian Natural Abstractions] Introduction

[TurnTrout]

To belabor the point further, we of course don’t primarily care about trees, we care about the concept ‘human values’.

We have human values, and that’s the way in which we care. We don’t care about the quoted concept “human values”, on the main.

[Samuel Nellessen]

Thanks for pointing that out!

I wonder: we care about the things embedded in our values, e.g. trees or happy people. I know that you care about roughly similar things than I do, e.g. trees or happy people. In some way, I have a concept of ‘Your values’ or ‘What humans value’. Thus, doesn’t a concept of ‘human values’ entail things we value?

Understanding and transferring a concept of ‘human values’ would therefore suffice.
