The result about superrational agents was only demonstrated for superrational agents. That means agents which implement, essentially, the best of all possible decision theories. So they cooperate with each other and have all the non-contradictory properties that we want out of the best possible decision theory, even if we don’t currently know how to specify such a decision theory.
It’s a goal to aspire to, not a reality that’s already been achieved.
Trying to simply even further an answer to “How to deal with internal conflict?” of “Don’t have internal conflict” is pretty much correct and unhelpful.
I though that there was a line favoring consensus as approaching conflict situations something along the lines of “How to do deal with internal conflict?” “In conflict you are outside the pareto frontier so you should do nothing as there is nothing mututally agreeable to be found.” or “cooperate to the extent that mutual agreeement exists and then do nothing after that point where true disagreement starts”
