I sometimes encounter the “destroy all other agents” goal in the context of biological systems. Yet in practice, it rarely crops up: agents normally have more productive ways to spend their time than waging war against the other members of their own species. Destroying all other agents only looks like a valid instrumental value if you ignore how expensive the task is to perform.
