Yep, you might be right about the distal/proximal cut-off. I think that the Galaxy-brained value systems will end up controlling most of the distant future simply because they have a lower time-preference for resources. Not sure where the cut-off will be.
For similar reasons, I don’t think we should do a bunch of galaxy-brained acausal decision theory to achieve our mundane values, because the mundane values don’t care about counterfactual worlds.
