Yeah, thatās an interesting challenge. One idea that makes sense to me is to split into different sub-agents when you feel like thereās an in-principle tension or tradeoff between different kinds of values. For example, in a previous post I suggested different ābucketsā for the broad goals of (i) pure suffering reduction, (ii) reliable global capacity growth, and (iii) high-impact long-shots. Lots of different concrete ācausesā might compete within each philosophical bucket, but I wouldnāt be tempted to break out a fourth bucket unless I felt like there was a deeper principle at stake (e.g. if I thought that human vs animal pure suffering reduction might be meaningfully different).
(Thereās a separate question of how to decide what to investigate within each bucket, which is also tricky and Iām afraid I donāt have anything helpful to add there. In practice I mostly just defer to people I at least vaguely trust who seem to have looked into the area in greater depth. But as a community, we obviously benefit from people who are willing to do the hard work of novel investigations!)
