Also, we should distinguish between "why do I expect that existing value systems are energy-minimized" and "why should we prefer value systems that are energy-minimized".

The former is easier to answer, and I gave a bit of an answer in "Only humans can have human values".

The latter I could justify within EY-FAI by therefore claiming that being energy-minimized is a property of human values.
