My which seems to have been lost in most everyone is more nuanced than you might think. I am not arguing rightness or wrongness of fundamental values.
What I am merely trying to point out is that the notion that there is a me, a self that lives through time is incoherent. That really all that exists are people and that preferring one group of people over another requires justification which will be based on whatever morality you ultimately have. That being who is prepared to step forward and say well giving preference to a particular group of people who are similar to the person I am at the present that is is one my fundamental values so I am sticking to it. I think it’s quite ridiculous and people should reexamine what they value. Does anyone actually value similarity in this way? I don’t think so.
