I took the clock speed, unity, and intensity factors to be the aspects of consciousness about which one gathered evidence.
Total hedonic utilitarianism is mathematically interesting. I should explore its logical implications.
I appreciate what you describe as heuristics. In my everyday life I apply heuristics.
Morality is informed by heuristics that determine consequences of actions or by heuristics that determine the symbolic content of actions (their subjective or intersubjective meaning).
EDIT: morality is also informed by heuristics that determine intentions of actions, irrespective of consequences of actions, but that was not my interest here.
I wonder what heuristics the EA community officially acknowledge as relevant to understanding the level of consciousness or moral weight of beings from other species.
