First I was like, "wow, good question!" Then I was like, "ooh, that one's easy". In world A people are just like us except they don't die. In world B people are just like us except they don't feel grief about dying. RIght now, do you prefer our world to evolve into world A or world B? As far as I can tell, this is the general procedure for distinguishing your actual values from wireheading.
World A is clearly better, because not only can people in it not feel grief, but they can do so indefinitely, without death stopping them from not feeling grief.
