Can you explain a little more what you mean by âcoarse-grainedâ in P3? Does that just mean âvery unlikely to include all the possible outcomes, so thereâs a ton of unknown unknowns we donât know how to assign probability toâ or something else?
I mean that we have what I call âcoarse awarenessâ here: we conceive of crude groups of possible worlds, rather than possible worlds specified in fine-grained enough detail to assign them precise values (wrt impartial altruist axiologies). See also here for some examples. Happy to unpack more if those sections donât answer things!
