Are you able to imagine things you will want in the future? But assuming the universe isn’t just a big 4d-block, that version of you doesn’t exist, so wouldn’t imagining that be incoherent? Why wouldn’t the unreality of that be a stumbling block?
This is indeed neither a universally compelling argument nor is it possible to be an “ideal mind of perfect emptiness”. Think of this post as more along the lines of asking “if I was much more impartial and viewed all sentient beings as morally relevant, how would I want the world to look, what values would I have?”. Some people would answer “I don’t care about group X, if I was one of them I’d hope I get treated poorly like they do” and if they were being honest, this could not change their mind
