Vasco Grilo🔸 comments on Is RP’s Moral Weights Project too animal friendly? Four critical junctures

Thanks for the post, Nick.

Juncture 3: Dismissing Neuron count (5x – 100x multiplier)

Note you have to practically disregard the models RP used to get to this range of the multiplier. “Welfare range with neuron counts” = “weight on neuron counts”*”welfare range based solely on neuron counts” + (1 - “weight on neuron counts”)*”welfare range without neuron counts (RP’s)” ⇔ “weight on neuron counts” = (1 − 1/​”multiplier”)/​(1 - “welfare range based solely on neuron counts”/​”welfare range with neuron counts”), where “multiplier” = “welfare range without neuron counts”/​”welfare range with neuron counts”. So you would need the following weights on neuron counts:

• For chickens, and a multiplier of:

  • 5, 80.6 % (= (1 − ¹⁄₅)/​(1 − 0.00244/​0.332)).

  • 100, 99.7 % (= (1 − ¹⁄₁₀₀)/​(1 − 0.00244/​0.332)).

• For shrimp, and a multiplier of:

  • 5, 80.0 % (= (1 − ¹⁄₅ − 1)/​(1 − 10^-6/​0.031)).

  • 100, 99.0 % (= (1 − ¹⁄₁₀₀)/​(1 − 10^-6/​0.031)).

Thanks Vasco yeah my apologies I messed this one up, have changed it now. Where’s the “OOps” emoji.
