The globelike shape of the Earth, in humans, is not an inevitable
conclusion from satellite photos. That's why my original post specified
that it was an inevitable conclusion for *transhumans* only.
Do you seriously think that a Friendly AI which totally lacked the
behaviors and cognitive complexity associated with learning would be more
effective in making Friendliness real?
Ergo, the behaviors associated with learning are valid subgoals of
Friendliness.
