I haven't said that I suppose my values in the absence of laziness would be the same. I also don't expect others to have the same values as myself. Even if I did, that would be example of the "mind projection fallacy" or "false agreement fallacy" which was discussed here several times. Do you think that the lesswrongers are in tackling these biases substantially worse than they (we) think?

I don't think that we even think that we are avoiding using ourselves as our default model of other people in many situations, nor that we can do so in principle, but I wasn't of the impression that people though that they could.
