Thanks for the links! In addition to Shard Theory, I have seen Steven’s work and it is helpful. Both approaches seem to suggest human terminal values change...I don’t know what they’d say about the idea that some (human) terminal values are unchanging.
If Evolution is the master and humans are the slave in Wei Dai’s model, that seems to suggest that we don’t have unchangeable terminal values. But while the concept makes sense at the evolutionary scale, it doesn’t make sense to me that it implies within-lifespan terminal value changeability (or really any values...if I want pizza for dinner, evolution can’t suddenly make me want burgers). What do you think?
