📖 Description

I'm worried that many AI alignment researchers and other LWers have a view of how human morality works, that really only applies to a small fraction of all humans (notably moral philosophers and themselves). In this view, people know or at least suspect that they are confused about morality, and are eager or willing to apply reason and deliberation to find out what their real values are, or to correct their moral beliefs. Here's [an example](https://www.greaterwrong.com/posts/FSmPtu7foXwNYpWiB/on-the-limits-of-idealized-values) of someone who fits this view:
