### No, no, volitional morality doesn't say "other sentients", it simply
says "true desires should be fulfilled". A FAI would be designed to help
understand and fulfill the desires of "other sentients", but existing
sentients, the ones for whom FAI is supposed to work, may decide to pay
attention to their own wishes.
