Certainly. Humans obviously have a wider complex of values than
animals. One might well expect entities 'beyond' humans to have even
more complex values which we can't understand -- in fact, that is exactly
part of the strong Singularity.
On the other hand, I have seen no evidence that human geniuses have more
complex values than other humans. Since I maintain that Powers would be
*in principle* on our level, they needn't be any more ethically complex.
Anyway, having complex values doesn't imply being ethical.
} THIS LINE OF THOUGHT IS THE GREATEST KNOWN DANGER TO HUMANITY!
This statement I consider rather extreme, however.
