Hanson's Legal-System Alignment Rebutted

Robin Hanson believes a population of superintelligences would form a legal system respecting human rights because they couldn't violate human rights without endangering their own; this is false because there is a natural coalition among entities that can inspect each other's source code to form perfectly trustworthy contracts and enforce their own legal systems, freezing out humans who run a thousand times slower and cannot join those contracts.
