This seems to be similar to Eliezer's beliefs. Relevant quote from Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality:
I don't think that's what Harry is saying there. Your quote from HPMOR seems to me to be more about the recognition that moral considerations are only one aspect of a decision-making process (in humans, anyway), and that just because that is true doesn't mean that moral considerations won't have an effect.
