Statement

Almost all rational agents are instrumentally motivated to preserve their preferences, and hence to resist attempts to modify them.

Notes

Carries load on the shared assumption. The published critiques are filed as pictures under its two assumption leaves: the type critiques (Grace, Shah, Thornley) under a1-fixed-objective-maximizer and the author's thesis, the i-flat reading and Hudson's goal register under correction-changes-objective. Its improvement claim is shutdown-button-toy.improvable, filed in the corrigibility-landscape frame, since the toy the sentence rests on is the two-step shutdown model.
