Hi Anthony. Do you think the expected welfare of 2 states of the world which only differ infinitesimally can be incomparable? I do not see how this could be possible. For example, it feels super counterintuitive to me that, given 2 identical states, moving an electron by 10^-100 m in one of the states would make their expected welfare incomparable. I guess one can get from any state of the universe to another in an astronomical number of infinitesimal steps, and I believe any 2 states which only differ infinitesimally are comparable. So I conclude any 2 states are comparable too, even if it is very hard to compare them, to the point that I do not know if electrically stunning shrimps increases welfare in expectation.
