So if goals are so easy to generate how can “be a slave to Humanity” be
static and utterly sacred for the next ten billion years?

It wasn’t chance. Popular temporary goals (all goals are temporary) tend
to ovoid obstacles on the path to survival. If things change (and things
always change) the goals must change too.

I don’t fix ANYTHING as an axiom of mind, not even self preservation. No
mind ever observed has worked by a system of fixed axioms and there is
good reason to believe such a idea is an absurdity.
