I could consistently choose to consider my brain's hardwired moralisms maladaptive or even despicable holdovers from the evolutionary past that I choose to override as much as I can.

And you would be making the decision to override with... what, your spleen?

Another part of my brain--besides the part computing the morality function Yudkowsky posits.

Surely you can't believe Yudkowsky simply means whatever our brain decides is "moral"--and that he offers that as a solution to anything?
