Remember that my original point is that I believe appearing to be good correlates with goodness, even in extreme circumstances. Therefore, I expect restructuring humans to make the world appear tempting will be to the benefit of their happiness/meaningfulness/utility. Now, I’m willing to consider that are aspects of goodness which are usually not apparent to an inspecting human (although this moves to the borderline of where I think ‘goodness’ is well-defined). However, I don’t think these aspects are more likely to be satisfied in a satisficing search than in an optimizing search.
