Philosophy time:

Does this mean in 400 years it's possible we no longer disagree about how to evaluate things? i.e. we converge on one totalitarian utility function that everyone basically accept answers every possible trolley dilemma?

In 1600, people just took the world as that: measurements are sloppy, and vary culturally and based upon location etc. But we eventually came upon tools and techniques that are broadly accepted as repeatable and standard.

Would this sort of shift be possible? Or desirable?
