Someone who loves me unconditionally based on such a limited set of priors, and without updating them as well? I don't think I could even like someone so undiscriminating.

But then they don't really value your existence, just the predicates that you satisfy!

isn't that... yes? I sort of assumed this was a default?

Killjoy hot take: Unconditional love is appropriate for parents to give to small children. Giving or expecting unconditional love in adulthood is unhealthy.

Your idea about unconditional love is specific information that has update my priors about you. I'm so confused!
