I am not convinced about WELLBYs for a few reasons that I might comment later, but my primary response to this post is admiration at HLI for being so persistent and thorough about the value of SWB measures. I have a very strong intuition that SWB measures are invalid, but each analysis that you all do reduces that intuition little by little. It’s really nice to see a really ambitious project to change one of the most fundamental tools of EA.
Hi Karthik,
For what it’s worth I would be interested to hear your reasons and what sort of evidence would change your mind more than us cranking out analyses.
