Feelings of upsetness and contentedness arise out of my utility function. I have a negative term in my utility function for crimes against humanity. That is why I prefer outcomes where people are not being tortured by dictators. Removing that term seems to me to be the equivalent of Gandhi taking the murder pill; it's something I do not want to do. That is one of the preferences that I prefer not to get rid of.
The first sentence of that response seems to be unrelated to the rest of it. What does the rest of it have to do with feeling upset?
I didn't communicate what I meant by "feeling upset" clearly. I tried to clarify that here.
