the CEV of all humans would be the same...my own CEV

Please excuse me for nitpicking. But I don't think that's how "coherent" is intended.

D'oh, you're right, so the "coherent" extrapolated volition is a concept applied to all of humanity, not just one person (that would just be an extrapolated volition?). That's what I get for reading the CEV post days ago and then reading this one after forgetting part of it.

So, morality as Eliezer is trying to explain it, is to do your best to understand and work for the CEV?
