I want to be replaced by my better future self, but not my future self who is great at rationalizing their decisions.
I want to be replaced by a better partner, but not by someone who is great at manipulating people into a relationship.
I want to be replaced by a better employee, but not by one who is great at getting the favor of the manager.
I want to be replaced by a machine which can do my job better, but not by an unaligned AGI.
I want to be replaced by better humans, but not by richer humans if they are lonely and depressed.
