I hope you see the correlation between this and wireheading: each involves altering someone's terminal values to achieve greater utility over the allotted time span. The major difference is that one is labeled normal and the other abnormal.
but one can go back to being nihilistic if one chooses to, I think this does not strongly seem to be the case for wire heading.
It seems like less of a choice than one might think. I'm starting to believe terminal values can have natural or provoked drift. Or perhaps they're conflicting and incompatible, gaining and losing strength over time. Or both.
