@PhilosophyExp isn't that all utilitarianism? Doesn't there have to be some objective hierarchy of utility?
Peter Singer's "drowning child" thought exp. ultimately relies on idea there is an objective hierarchy of suffering: http://bit.ly/SNdb2C

@SeekSecularism Complexity is that objective hiearchy might reference ostensibly subjective state (e.g., happiness; or suffering). -
@PhilosophyExp this tweet makes more sense to me if I replace "is" with "in." Is that representative of what you were saying? -
@PhilosophyExp It doesn't seem self evident to me that our subjective states SHOULD match this complexity. Unless it evolved to match it.
