That did not address David's True Rejection.
an Austere Charitable Metaethicist could do better.

The grandparent is a superb reply and gave exactly the information needed in a graceful and elegant manner.

Indeed it does. Not. Here is a condition in which I think David would be satified. If people would use vegetables for example as common courtesy to vegetarians, in the exact same sense that "she" has been largely adopted to combat natural drives towards "he"-ness. Note how Luke's agents and examples are overwhelmingly female. Not a requirement, just a courtesy.

An I don't say that as a vegetarian, because I'm not one.

Indeed. What is the Borg's version of the Decision Theory FAQ? This is not to say that rational agents should literally aim to emulate the Borg. Rather our conception of epistemic and instrumental rationality will improve if / when technology delivers ubiquitous access to each other's perspectives and preferences. And by "us" I mean inclusively all subjects of experience.
