The trouble is, not everyone wants to mind their own business, especially because there are incentives for cultures to engage in economic interaction (which inevitably leads to cultural exchange and thus a conflict of values). Though it would theoretically be beneficial if everyone cultivated their own garden, it seems nearly impossible in practice. Instead of keeping value systems in isolation, which is an extremely difficult task even for an AI, wouldn't it be better to allow cultures to interact until they homogenize?
