That’s an interesting argument thank you, and I think d others on the RP team might agree. Its a reasonable perspective to have.
I agree that 99.9% of people are likely to be too animal unfriendly, but personally (obviously from this post) think that probably animal welfare advocates are more likely to swing the other way given the strong incentives to be able to better advocate for animals (understandable), publishing impact, and just being deep in the animal thought world.
I agree that an uninformed prior would say that all individuals have equal moral weight, but I think we have a lot of information here so I’m not sure why that’s super relevant here? Maybe I’m missing something.
