I'm trying to understand this, and I'm trying to do it by being a little more concrete.
Suppose I have a choice to make, and my moral intuition is throwing error codes. I have two axiomations of morality that are capable of examining the choice, but they give opposite answers. Does anything in this essay help? If not, is there a future essay planned that will?
In a universe that contains a neurotypical human and clippy, and they're staring at eachother, is there an asymmetry?
Why do you have two axiomatizations of morality? Where did they come from? Is there a reason to suspect one or both of their sources?
Because aximatizations are hard. I tried twice. And probably messed up both times, but in different ways.
The axiomatizations are internally complete and consistent, so I understand two genuine logical objects, and I'm trying to understand which to apply.
(Note: my actual map of morality is more complicated and fuzzy -- I'm simplifying for sake of discussion)
