Yes,
of course a brief ethical slogan like "choice, growth and joy" is underspecified
and all the terms need to be better defined, either by example or by formal
elucidation, etc. I carry out some of this elucidation in the Encouraging
a Positive Transcension essay that triggered this whole
dialogue...

Subject: RE: [agi] AGI's and emotionsHi Ben,> Adding Choice to the mix provides a principle-level motivation not to> impose one's own will upon the universe without considering the wills> of others as well...Whose choice - everyone or the AGI? That has to be specified in the ethic - otherwise it could be the AGI only - then the AGI would *certainly* "consider the wills of others as well" but only to see that they did not block the will of the AGI.A non-carefully structured goal set leading to the pursuit of choice/growth/joy could still lead to a megalomaniac, seems to me.Cheers, Philip
