This looks correct to me. CEV(my_morality) = CEV(your_morality) = CEV(yudkowsky_morality), because psychologically normal humans all have different extrapolations of the same basic moral fundamentals. We've all been handed the same moral foundation by evolution, unless we are mentally damaged in certain very specific ways.

However, CEV(human_morality) ≠ CEV(klingon_morality) ≠ CEV(idiran_morality). There's no reason for morality to be generalizable beyond psychologically normal humans, since any other species would have been handed at least moderately different moral foundations, even if there happened to be some convergent evolution or something.
