        .@cinathestrup @SamHarrisOrg So "what should I want to do?" has no moral answer except "whatever others want"? Then what should *they* want?

        .@cinathestrup @SamHarrisOrg That's a bad maxim when you're cornered by gang rapists—and the more of them there are, the worse the maxim is.

        See what you mean at this "group level". Would that thinking work at the level of "all human beings" though? @SamHarrisOrg

        I can't put my finger on it, but somehow this discussion was a bit frustrating. David didnt' quite get it?

        .@twitminor @SamHarrisOrg Yes but sometimes it might require crude downloading so there'd be an issue of whether it's still the same person.

        .@twitminor @SamHarrisOrg Less of an issue in the other direction because the ex-psycho could be given continuity with his pre-psycho self.

        Wasn't clear what disagreement was in regards to your foundational claim of worst misery for everyone is bad?

        .@reasonvalues @SamHarrisOrg One of them is that morality is about what to do next. And that includes *which* other state to move to ASAP.

        Do you agree with Sam's foundational claim?
