When currently thinking in far mode about this you like the idea, but seeing it in practice might easily horrify you.
In any case when I was talking about maximising utility, I was talking about you maximising your utility. You can easily be mistaken about what does and dosen't do that.
I say the same about the general shape of your modern-society-with-legalized-infanticide.
And you are right to say so!
Uh huh, thanks. The difference is, I'm quite a bit more distrustful of your legal infanticide's perspectives than you're distrustful of my personal self-modification's perspectives.
I'm not sure this is so. We should update towards each other estimates of the other's distrustfulness. I'm literally horrified by the possibility of a happy death spiral around universal altruism.
