Thanks all! This is a good, useful discussion. I wanted to clarify slightly but what I mean when I say EA is the “better” ideology. Mainly, I mean that EA is better at guiding my actions in a way that augments my ethical impact much more than SJ does. They’re primarily rivalrous only insofar as I can only make a limited number of ethical deliberations per day, and EA considerations more strongly optimize for impact than SJ considerations.
