Thanks a lot, @Gideon Futerman! Good additions, which all seem right to me.
Another question I’ve had on my mind is how much MPL is related to additive separability. You might at a first pass think that moral atomism makes you more likely to buy MPL, since you have so many different spaces of value to optimise. But holistic views can in principle lead to even sharper differences in the value of worlds — for example, you could have a view that says that you need to align all of the stars forever or you don’t capture any value.
I’d like to have a clearer view on when moral viewpoints will tend to end up at MPL, but I don’t have one yet.
