I’m curious if you think that the “reflective equilibrium” position of the average person is net negative?
E.g. many people who would describe themselves as “conservationists” probably also think that suffering is bad. If they moved into reflective equilibrium, would they give up the conservation or the anti-suffering principles (where these conflict)?
I don’t know, but I would guess that people would give up conservation under reflective equilibrium (assuming and insofar as conservation is, in fact, net negative).
