I think Derek Parfit, at least some comments of Derek's Parfit's, uh, suggest this view.
I think lots of moral realists will like, um, uh, kind of profess this view.
Eliezer Yurkowsky, I think that there are sort of some sense in which I think his early thinking was inflected with this sort of thought.
Um,
he later recanted.
It's very hard.
So I think this is importantly wrong.
And so here's my, here's the case.
I have an essay about this.
It's called Against the Normative Realist's Wager.
And here's the case that convinces me.
So imagine that a metaethical fairy appears before you, right?
And this fairy knows whether there is a DAO.
And the fairy says, okay, I'm going to offer you a deal.
If there is a DAO,
then I'm going to give you a hundred dollars.
If there isn't a Dow, then I'm going to burn you and your family and a hundred innocent children alive.
Right.
Um, okay.
So, so claim, don't take this deal, right?
