Please, let me know about any source discussing this.
If with “this” you mean timeline utilitarianism, then there isn’t one unfortunately (I haven’t published this idea anywhere else yet). Once I’ve finished university I hope some EA institution will hire me to do research into descriptive population ethics. So hopefully I can provide you with some data on our intuitions about timelines in a couple years.
I suspect that people more concerned with the quality of life will tend to favor average timeline utilitarianism, and all the people in this community that are so focused on x-risk and life-extension might be a minority with their stronger preference for the quantity of life (anti-deathism is the natural consequence of being a strong total timeline utilitarian). If you want to read something similar to this then you could always check out the wider literature surrounding population ethics in general.
