Yes, thanks for clarifying. I believe that it is necessarily harder to make correct judgements in the domain of population ethics. My stronger claim is that any such judgements, even if correct, only carry force as mediated through our ‘call to universality’ meta-emotion. Hence, even if we have the right population axiology, this likely should not over-ride our more mundane moral intuitions.
