Hey, that sounds great to me. Thanks. Here’s my question.
Do you think science or philosophy can meaningfully separate the capacity to experience suffering or pain from however else consciousness is posited to be distributed across species? What would be fruitful avenues of research for effective altruists to pursue if it’s possible to solve the problem in the first question, without necessarily addressing whatever remains of consciousness?
