I think the idea is that CEV lets us "grow up more together" and figure that out later.

I have only recently started looking into CEV so I'm not sure whether I a) think it's a workable theory and b)think it's a good solution, but I like the way it puts off important questions.

It's impossible to predict what we will want if age, disease, violence, and poverty become irrelevant (or at least optional).
