Thanks for this analysis, utilistrutil!
I focus on wild animals because I think their welfare probably controls the question of how good the world is at present.
Agreed. For reference, I estimated the scale of the welfare of wild and farmed animals is 50.8 M and 4.64 times that of humans.
Fai also has (relevant!) thoughts on the intersection between animal welfare and longtermism.
Thanks for the references! Looking forward to reading :)
