I fully agree. I don’t think even a perfect Friendliness theorem would suffice in making politics well and truly Friendly. Such an expectation is like expecting Friendly AI to work even while it’s being bombarded with ionic radiation (or whatever) that is randomly flipping bits in its working memory.
Actually it’s worse: It’s like expecting to build a Friendly AI using a computer with no debugging utilities, an undocumented program interpreter, and a text editor that has a sense of humor. You have to implement it.
