Why do you feel it would be the right decision to kill one? Who defines “right”?
I define “right” to be what I want, or, more exactly, what I would want if I knew more, thought faster and was more the person I wish I could be. This is of course mediated by considerations on ethical injunctions, when I know that the computations my brain carries out are not the ones I would consciously endorse, and refrain from acting since I’m running on corrupted hardware. (You asked about the LCPW, so I didn’t take these into account and assumed that I could know that I was being rational enough).
It’s been a while since I read Thou Art Godshatter and the related posts, so maybe I’m conflating the message in there with things I took from other LW sources.
Just FYI, I’ve become convinced that most online communication through comments with a lot of context are much better settled through conversations, so if you want, we could also talk about this over audio call.
