creating new goals is always purely negative for every other currently existing goal, right
No more than hiring new employees is purely negative for existing employees at a company.
The premise I’m working with here is that you can’t create goals without making them “terminal” in some sense (just as you can’t hire employees without giving them some influence over company culture).
You did a good job of communicating your positive feelings about this kind of value system, I understand slightly better why you like it.
I can see how it can be worth the trade-off to make a new goal if that’s the only way to get the work done. But it’s negative if the work can be done directly.
And we know many small-ish cases where we can directly compute a policy from a goal. So what makes it impossible to make larger plans without adding new goals? And why does adding new goals shift it from impossible to possible?
