I have offered an objective criterion for choosing sides in the debate, as well as a justification for that criterion that is ultimately based on satisfying people’s preferences to the greatest extent possible.
I couldn’t find where you did this in the parents. Could you link or repeat?
Thanks. Interesting thread. It’s a nice hope. It makes me feel good to imagine that it works, and our alien overlords will therefore be fair :)
Not much for me hangs in the balance with this question. I already know that if I feel like I’m a good person, It feels good. But of course I’m interested in how this self-satisfaction lines up with how people are generally judged. I guess it would become crucial if I became more aggressive. Most people are really cautious (at least as far as their image goes).

Whoops. You are right. I made this proposal here and here and in the discussions that followed.
