Comment on What is Eliezer Yudkowsky's meta-ethical theory?

It seems clear from the metaethics posts is that if a powerful alien race comes along and converts humanity into paperclip-maximizers, such that making many paperclips comes to be right_human, EY would say that making many paperclips doesn't therefore become right.

In that case, we would draw a distinction between right_unmodified_human and right_modified_human, and "right" would refer to the former.
