Well, Eliezer's reply to this comment prompts a follow-up question:

In "Free to optimize", you alluded to "the gift of a world that works on improved rules, where the rules are stable and understandable enough that people can manipulate them and optimize their own futures together". Can you say more about what you imagine such rules might be ?

I think that there isn't any point in attempting to come up with anything more exact than the general musings of the Fun Theory. It really takes a superintelligence and knowledge of CEV to conceive such rules (and it's not even guaranteed that there'd be anything that resemble "rules" per se).
