Excuse me, what's "average utility"? How do you compare utils of different people? Don't say you're doing it through the lens of your own utility function - this is begging the question.
Coherent Extrapolated Volition tries to resolve conflicting individual utilities - see "Fred wants to kill Steve".
At this point, it looks like resolving conflicts should just be carried out as cooperation of individual preferences.
