Thanks @CB🔸 I’d rather not get into this here in detail (its not what the post is about), but these numbers come from something like starting from the moral weights project numbers then discounting pretty heavily due to skepticism about the methodology being biased towards animals at most junctures. My starting point of 1 in a thousand isn’t far off RPs numbers. Your between 1 in 10 and one in 100 billion is also entirely reasonable.
I’m not at all confident they are morally irrelevant, my point was only that there’s a chance their suffering is relevant on the ballpark of human suffering—not necessarily all or nothing.
