So the urge for flying to the moon is a bug? Climb a Mountain?
- dudeman13 5y agoIt depends on your utility function, of course. Will flying to the moon or climbing a mountain bring you closer to the things you value? The urge is a bug if it doesn't match the things you value. The urge is not a bug if it matches the things you value. With some fat margin for uncertainty around 'matching the things you value' because that's hard to quantify. Utility functions can have 'axiomatic values' in them. Not everything you value is deduced from underlying principles.
