And so we are in disagreement. But I hope you now understand that the disagreement is because our values are different rather than because I don't understand the concept of values. Ironically our values differ in that I prefer to preserve my values and those of my conspecifics beyond the Singularity, whereas you distrust those values and the flawed cognition behind them, and you wish to have those imperfect human things replaced by something less messy.
I don't see myself as doing any non-instrumental temporal discounting in the first place. So, for me personally, losing my non-instrumental temporal discounting doesn't seem like much of a loss.
However, I do think that our temporal myopia is going to fall by the wayside. We will stop screwing over the immediate future because we don't care about it enough. Myopic temporal discounting represents a primitive form of value - which is destined to go the way of cannibalism and slavery.
