michael vassar: I meant “horrible” from my current perspective, much like I would view that future me as psychopathic and immoral. (It wouldn’t, or if it did, it would consider them meaningless labels.)
Dynamically Linked: I’m using my real name and I think I’d do things that I (and most of the people I know) currently consider immoral. I’m not sure about using “admit” to describe it, thought, as I don’t consider it a dark secret. I have a certain utility function which has a negative valuation of a hypothetical future self without the same utility function. While my current utility function has an entry for “truth”, that entry isn’t valued above all the others that Eliezer suggests disproving the way I understand it. But then, I’m still a bit confused on how the question should be read.
