"but far worse than their personal desires implemented at the expense of the rest of humankind."

uh....i thought this was sort of the point. also, given holodecks (or experience machines of any sort), I disagree.

EDIT: never mind, conversational context mismatch.

If that's the point, then why does EY prefer it over implementing the CEV of himself and a small group of other people?

As for holodecks (and simulations), as long as people are aware they are in a simulation, I think many would care no less about the state of the external world. (At a minimum they must care somewhat, to make sure their simulation continues to run.)
