I personally do—but it isn’t even an (absolute) human universal much less a logically necessary preference.
should have, should keep?
An agent could plausibly intrinsically value keeping all of their preferences/ethics/morals exactly as they are, in which case such an agent can be expected to believe that they should keep them. They may also instrumentally value keeping them if it helps them to achieve/live by/etc their preferences/ethics/etc. The moment they discover a better way to achieve preferences or live by ethics than by maintaining the representation in themselves the instrumental consideration no longer applies.
Nothing evades the judgment.
So? This doesn’t impact imd’s consideration at all. A rock that doesn’t evade the judgement is still a rock and arational
knowledge would not cease to be arational knowledge just because it does not evade judgement.
