I was kind of iffy about this post until the last point, which immediately stood out to me as something I vehemently disagree with. Whether or not humans naturally have values or are consistent is irrelevant—that which is not required will happen only at random and thus tend not to happen at all, and so if you aren’t very very careful to actually make sure you’re working in a particular coherent direction, you’re probably not working nearly as efficiently as you could be and may in fact be running in circles without noticing.
