gollark: Even an efficiency maximiser has an ethical system. Broadly speaking. A goal system, at least.
gollark: Also convenience.
gollark: I, of course, do ethical things based on averaging various philosophy-derived ethical systems, arbitrary human intuition, and a neural network thing which weakly approximates average human judgements.
gollark: You can ignore those, but good luck spreading your preferred ethical behaviour patterns in that case.
gollark: It also might work out worse on consequentialist grounds to do it all the time.
