I would be very surprised if [neuron count + noiciceptive capacity as moral weight] are standard EA assumptions. I haven’t seen this in the people I know nor in the major funders, who seem to be more pluralistic to me.
My main critique to this post is that there are different claims and it’s not very clear which arguments are supporting what conclusions. I think your message would be more clear after a bit of rewriting, and then it would be easier to have an object-level discussion.
