There's obviously no coherence if the terminal values of space-Jews include their continuing existence, and the terminal values of space-Nazis include the space-Jews' eradication.

Prints out "these species' values do not cohere"? Or perhaps "both species coherent-extrapolatedly appreciate pretty sunsets, therefore maximize prettiness of sunsets, but don't do anything that impacts on the space-Jews survival one way or another, or the space-Nazis survival either if that connects negatively to the former?"
