Thanks, I agree — positive experiences matter morally too. I didn’t emphasize it explicitly, but the text defines valence as “how good or bad an experience feels”, so both sides are included. Since there’s no consensus on how to weigh suffering vs happiness, I think the relative weight between them should itself come from feedback — like through pairwise comparisons and aggregation of moral intuitions across perspectives.
