Tesseract's conclusion is hindered by not having read about the interplay between decision theory and values (i.e. how to define a "selfish action", which consequences to take into consider, etc.), not the complexity of value as such. Tesseract would me making the same errors on decision theory even if human values were not so complex, and decision theory is the focus of the post.

Might not be relevant to "Tesseract's conclusion", but is relevant to other little conclusions made in the post along the way, even if they are all independent and don't damage each other.
