Whenever I hear someone speaking of generalized human values all I hear is "My values" or else. Lest we forget that the largest genocide of the 20th century was done by communists for universal brotherhood in China. If we'd picked Hitler AI as our overlord we would have fewer deaths than if we picked Mao AI (and possibly Stalin AI).

In short: anyone in favor of human universalism is the last person you want to put in charge of AGI alignment.
