I agree there is some overlap between these principles and EA principles. But I still think the EAs are more willing to debate them. For instance, the first implies torture is never justified (and this is a common view in UU), but some EAs will debate the cases where it could be justified. Also, maximizing utility does not necessarily push you to justice and equity. Spiritual growth does not apply to most of EA. And EAs generally question environmental/biodiversity principles.
I very much expect a speaker at an EA conference talking about the benefits of torture would be quickly shown the door. More to the point, this goes double for a speaker saying EAs should ditch the “doing good impartially based on reason and evidence” thing and instead pick a Great Leader to never criticize and embark on a crusade to genocide the inferior races.
