This site does tend to implicitly favour a subset of human values, specifically what might be described as 'enlightenment values'. I'm quite happy to come out and explicitly state that we should do things that favour my values, which are largely western/enlightenment values, over other conflicting human values.
And I think we should pursue values that aren't so apey.
Now what?
You're outnumbered.
Only by apes.
And not for long.
If we're voting on it, the only question is whether to use viral values or bacterial values.
Too long has the bacteriophage menace oppressed its prokaryotic brethren! It's time for an algaeocracy!
True, outnumbered was the wrong word. Outgunned might have been a better choice.
So far...
I say again, if you're being serious, read Invisible Frameworks.
That seems to be critiquing a system involving promoting sub-goals to super-goals - which seems to be a bit different.
