I lean towards maybe having a parliamentary model of my preferences (that's the term Bostrom uses, but I'm not sure I'd use his decision theory, exactly) in which one voting bloc cares about the people who are still alive and one voting bloc cares about the continued survival of (trans)human civilization. This might require giving up an aspiration to expected utility maximization.
