You’re currently getting downvoted(unfortunately I think!), but I thought I would try to flesh out some reasons why this is the case currently, potentially to spur on discussion:
1. Whether unintentional or not, the ‘flat earth’ images do not seem to be a favourable presentation of your ideas and do not seem necessary to make the claims you are making.
2. There is not much structure to the post. I think we would appreciate it if you had some introduction and conclusion on what you are trying to address and how you’ve done so.
3. Some of the explanations are quite confusing (at least to me), e.g. it’s not clear what you mean exactly by
‘It can brighten—improving the enterpretation[sic] of a given sentience from a darker to a brighter sentience’
Does this mean ‘higher utility/welfare’?
4. I don’t think the post is sufficiently self-contained and free standing to make a credible case.
Also keen to hear whether people agree/disagree with the above!
Thanks for your thoughts. I see how the images are distorting the explanation, and I will replace the images tomorrow. I certainly did not intend to create any flat earth association.
The “brightening” is another term for more wellbeing. I will also address this tomorrow and elaborate on introduction, methodology, analysis, and conclusion tomorrow.
In the meantime, everything is explained in detail in my 12.000 word article on this topic linked to this post. Here, I have also made a 6000 word summary and a 3500 word summary.
Looking forward to any comments anyone might have. And I will let you Azure know when I have updated this post (in case you are interested).
Hi Peter!
Thank you for the write up!

Hi Azure
This post is now updated an now contains a structure with introduction, methodology, analysis, and conclusion.
The abstract images with the unfortunate association to a flat Earth is also now replaced.
Again, thank you for your good comments.
Kind regards,
Peter
Hi Peter.
Thank you very much for this! It’s much appreciated and I’m glad my comments were somewhat helpful.
Perhaps you may wish to submit the new version as a new, separate post?
I think I would also contact Aaron Gertler, the forum moderator, to get some feedback if you chose to post the above as a separate post. All the best.
