Selfish wants about population ethics are like "I want kids" or "I want there to be more people around here"
Sum isn't close, because sum is unbounded, and thus expected value can be undefined.

measure-weighted sum then
-
What? I would say use f∘sum, where f:ℝ→[0,1] is monotonic, but it doesn't sound like you're describing that.
-
well how are we defining what's one thing to sum over. if one thing is "finite fraction of available measure"
-
then there are finitely many things. even if in some other sense there are infinitely many
-
like are me and my clone one thing or are we two things. and so on
-
i don't really understand these issues but they intuitively feel orthogonal to whether sum is a good function
-
which i guess you agree with because you suggest separating it into a sum and a transformation to unit interval

Still not sure what you mean. Twitter is probably not the best platform to continue this conversation.
