Nice! (admit I’ve only just skimmed and looked at the eye-catching graphics and tables 🙃). A couple small potential improvements to those things:
Is a higher-quality/bigger file version of the infographic available? Shouldn’t matter, of course, but may as well put it on a fair memetic playing field with all the other beautiful charts out there
Would you consider adding a few “reference” columns to the Welfare Range Table, in particular values for:
Human (or perhaps “human if introspection is epistemically meaningful and qualia exist”)
Organisms from other kingdoms: plant, bacteria, etc. (I think any single one without nervous tissue would suffice)
A representative (very probable) non-moral patient physical object (“rock”)
Less important (intuitively to me) potential additions:
chatGPT
Video game character or anything else that “behaves” in some sense like an advanced organism but is ontologically very different
any other contrarian counterexample things that might push the limits of the taxonomy’s applicability (maybe ‘Roomba’ or ‘the IOS operating system’ or ‘a p-zombie’ ?)
