It would appear that the presiding heuristic is:

"Do whatever you can get away with, with prioritization on local optimization with eager evaluation"

So basically, be an asshole/sociopath. The tennets of objectivism.

"morality" is basically memoized reinforcement learning over many human generations. So, it seems that the cache has been wiped out, and they need to learn again why they shouldn't be focusing on local optimization exclusively.
