You realize that word just means “more than a majority”, right? Usually 2/3rds, but it seems like “majority” fits your argument just fine.
I’m also assuming you’re referring to the space of all possible agents, rather than the space of all actual agents, because goodness, there’s LOTS that 90+% of all humans agree on.

Yeah.
My point is that if you flip your utility function, it flips your actions. It just doesn’t seem that way because if you flip your utility function, and future!your utility function, then a lot of actions stay the same.
Not necessarily. Suppose there are two switches next to each other: switch A and switch B. If you leave switch A alone, I’ll write it “a”, if you flip it, it’s “A.” The payoffs look like this:
I mean, it flips a binary action. If you replace the “you” deciding whether or not to switch A with one with an opposite utility function, it will flip it so that future you will do less damage when you flip B.

ab: +1
aB: −1
Ab: +3
AB: −3

Ah, I see. Interesting distinction to make, but I don’t think it was intended by roko.
