seems to me the relevant disanalogy is consumption has diminishing marginal U, altruism does not
if there's diminishing marginal U to things like lives-saved-by-you, then sure, spreading works

i guess, on reread, chris's claim is objective and subjective expectation should be treated difft
-
so the q is what's the meaning of actual risk and subjective uncertainty and why does it matter
-
that is, why should we treat these kinds of uncertainty differently in decision-making
-
maybe there's an argument in cases like moral uncertainty. like how ppl talk about parliaments
-
but i think if it's subjective uncertainty about something like how well malaria nets work,
-
then there's no good case for treating it differently from objective risk due to idk world events

if there's diminishing marginal U to "total lives existing", it's ~linear in relevant domain
