Wouldn’t it be easier to have the programee remember themself as misunderstanding morality
That depends on the details of how the human brain stores goals and memories.
Cached thoughts regularly supersede actual moral thinking, like all forms of thinking, and I am capable of remembering this experience. Am I misunderstanding your comment?
My point is that in order to “fully reprogram” someone it is also necessary to clear their “moral cache” at the very least.
Well … is it? Would you notice if your morals changed when you weren’t looking?
I probably would, but then again I’m in the habit of comparing the out of my moral intuitions with stored earlier versions of that output.
I guess it depends on how much you rely on cached thoughts in your moral reasoning.
Of course, it can be hard to tell how much you’re using ’em. Hmm...
