Jef,



In what sense do human have pre-programmed super-goals?



Genom.



It seems to me that our evolved "programming" is about as far from a super-goal as can
be conceived,



What is "evolved programming"? "Conceived" by who?



responding in ways that provided superior fitness in the
ancestral environment but certainly not forward-looking.



"Responding" to who?

Super-goals are not "looking" at all.
Goals themselves don't have conscious.



I can't see how this concept of a *system* modifying its supergoals even
makes sense.



I agree: It doesn't have sense to modify its own supergoals.



Indeed, the concept of a supergoal doesn't make sense, except from a
point of view at a higher level of context than the system itself.



Disagree. Why do you think that concept of supergoal doesn't make sense for the intelligent system with supergoals?




Dennis -

It appears you and I are quite far apart on both terminology and concepts. I'll reply to your questions and comments off-list and we can see how it goes.
