I don’t think OP was going for the same idea as the debate over population ethics. The article wasn’t about future people that don’t currently exist but “might” exist as a result of our actions. Rather, it is about people living in worlds whose existence is causally disconnected from us, and logically impossible according to our current understanding of “existence”.

You’re right, I think I didn’t read carefully enough, and I pattern matched to the nearest sensible view.
