Was this downvoted because people disagree with the ideas about the mind/personal identity or for some other reason?

I also think that I have no egoistic terms in my utility function and that utility functions which such term are likely incoherent due to being based on false ideas (as instantiated in humans, not in general; obviously it is possible to have a utility function that could be described as egoistic). I am unsure of whether my utility function has terms that are egoistic conditional on my philosophy of mind being wrong, which I assign maybe a 20% probability.
