It would be a mistake if you don't integrate ALL baby eaters, including the little ones.
Do we typically integrate the values of human children?
It seems we don't.
Reading "integrate the values..." in this thread caused my brain to start trying to do very strange math. Like, "Shouldn't it be 'integrate over'?" "How does one integrate over a value?" "What's the value of a human child?"
Very true...
We also typically don't integrate the values of all other adult humans - instead we assign weights to their values, strongly correlated with their distance from our own values.
People don't practice humanity-wide CEV. We have multiculturalism - agreements not to influence each other's values excessively - but not "value trading" where each side agrees to change their values towards the mean. (Many people / cultures like to pretend that values cannot or should not be deliberately changed at all.) I don't have a firm opinion on how much of this is cultural, accidental, or liable to change in the near future.
Indeed, this is presumably strongly selected for in the evolution of cultures...
