Especially considering the infinite number of possible posthuman mind-states
(but even with current human ones), how/by who is it arbitrated which mind
states are most desirable. This is my moral skepticism again - I dont believe
the question of which states are most desirable has an objective answer.
Thus (my original argument), it is foolish to have an AGI seek them out for
everyone - self-determination is therefore the best way.
