That's the crux of the problem, isn't it: should you want to?

No, that's the crux of the problem as framed by purported rationalists including EA.

The real existential question, once you jerk off into the cosmological mirror for long enough, will still be "do you want to?"

"Should you want to?" What does that even mean? Wanting is a thought. There is no thought you should have. Have the thoughts you have and act on them. Period.
