I am not sure if we should blindly extrapolate these intuitions to determine what we want in the far future.
I’m pretty sure we shouldn’t. Note that “blindly” is a pretty biased way to describe something if you’re not trying to skew the discussion. I’m pretty sure we shouldn’t even knowingly and carefully extrapolate these intuitions terribly far into the future. I’m not sure whether we have a choice, though—it seems believable that a pure laissez-faire attitude toward future values leads to dystopia or extinction.
