Thanks for this clarification. I was sloppy originally when saying “it seems that according to EA, …” instead of saying “it seems that according to prominent members of the EA community, …”.
So do you know of any statistics on what the values of people who identify with the EA community actually are, and what they would say to such questions as mine?
I looked briefly but wasn’t able to find anything. There is the Demographic Survey also, but the level of specificity re moral views is not going to help you much.
EA Polls Facebook group ← I don’t think they have the poll you are looking for but I would recommend posting your question here if you want more responses. Also Short-form posts generally don’t get much engagement, and the engagement they do get is often by the most committed EAs, so if you really care you might consider making a top level post, though that is understandably more stressful.

Thanks, Charlie. Unfortunally I boycott Faceb**k, but I will consider making a top-level post, on some thought experiments like this one.
