“Where does this leave cluelessness about the far future?” Narrower than it might first look: I’m not claiming trimmed maximality resolves severe cluelessness or restores confident long-termist verdicts. Many far-future comparisons will likely still come out indeterminate even under a trimmed rule, since the disagreement in those cases runs through the core of the representor, not just its edges.
Any example of an action that you think your rule recommends preferring over another? (i.e., one where indeterminacy is not great enough for even your trimmed-maximality rule not to be action-guiding?)
