Roughly equal up until the point where you are choosing what ‘positive difference’ means. While that is inevitably arbitrary it is arbitrary in a, well, positive way. While it does seem to me that basic self perpetuation is in some sense more fundamental or basic than any sophisticated value system I don’t endorse it any more than I endorse gravity.
How does it compare to wanting to make a large positive difference in as many Everett branches as possible?
