“Is it optimal, according to my values, to devote my time and energy to working on [thing I am devoting my time and energy to working on]?” is probably going to be the right question to ask for quite a lot of people.
I think it would not be a very useful question to ask. What are the chances that a flawed, limited human brain could stumble upon the absolute optimal set of actions one should take, based on a given set of values? I can’t concieve of a scenario where the oracle would say “Yes” to that question.
