do you think stable meta-values are to be observed between australopiteci and say contemporary western humans? on the other hand: do values across primitive tribes or early agricultural empires not look surprisingly similar? third hand: what makes it so that we can look back and compare those value systems, while it would be nigh-impossible for the agents in questions to wrap their head around even something as “basic” as representative democracy?
i don’t think it’s thought as much as capacity for it that changes one’s values. for instance, aontogeny recapitulating phylogeny: would you think it wise to have @TsviBT¹⁹⁹⁹ align contemporary Tsvi based on his values? How about vice versa?

I’m not sure I understand the question, or rather, I don’t know how I could know this. Values are supposed to be things that live in an infinite game / Nomic context. You’d have to have these people get relatively more leisure before you’d see much of their values.
let’s try it from the other direction:

It would be mostly wise either way, yeah, but that’s relying on both directions being humble / anapartistic.
