Thanks. I'll definitely have to look into these. They seem like more 
thought-out versions of my point about starving children vs. force.

It would be interesting to build a morality version of the Nolan 
political quiz. Correlate one with the other.

I also see personality correlations. Extropians and libertarians are 
much more likely to be xNTP.

I'm reminded of the 1984 vision of the future of mankind: "If you 
want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face 
-- forever." which Harlan Ellison morphed into his AGI-induced hell 
"I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream."
