I agree that puberty would be an even greater risk to my value function. However, pre-puberty CapResearcher already lost, it’s post-puberty CapResearcher that tries to preserve their value function now.
I also agree that from the perspective of society, it is quite beneficial to encourage reproduction. However, society would happily let me sacrifice myself for the greater good, without that necessarily being what I want to do.
Fair point, just wanted to specify that this is not about “society” in general, but about “people like you”. If you won’t reproduce, the society will happily go on, just the fraction of people like you in the future will be smaller.
