Do you not find it presumptuous to dictate what is best for us?
Eliezer is never presumptuous, nor is he timid. He declames precisely as he means to.
Zen Buddhist students are sometimes told to wash their mouths out with soap when they say the word ‘Buddha’. I suggest Eliezer does the same thing—with the words ‘Master’, ‘Way’, and ‘Zen’.
On a final note, it is absurd to speak about ‘rebelling against your goal structure’. Deeper goals and preferences can result in the creation and destruction of shallower ones—that’s all.
