Thanks for the reply. I had no idea the spread was so wide (<2% to >98% in the last link you mentioned)!
I guess the nice thing about most of these estimates is they are still well above the ridiculously low orders of magnitude that might prompt a sense of ‘wait, I should actually upper-bound my estimate of humanity’s future QALYs in order to avoid getting mugged by Pascal.’ It’s a pretty firm foundation for longtermism imo.
