I’d weight the “percent-me” of the change. Me-but-without-LW-rationality is maybe 90-95% me. Me-without-any-interesting-in-critical-thinking-at-all is like 75% me. Some form of silliness and self-expression is about 35% of my personality-makeup. I think I value general inclinations more than specific knowledge/ideas, since those change more over time.
So a 10% chance of me surviving-sans-silliness-and-art-inclination is basically like a 6.5% chance of surviving.′
