Post your "Would you rather" questions for others to answer.
First option, ofc. That's a no-brainer.
Would you rather have 10 billion people leading a maximally happy life or 100 trillion ones leading just barely meaningful and fulfilling enough lives not to want to kill themselves?
The first definitely... quality over quantity. But my ideal goes even further back than that to zero people living a phenomenally conscious life... because all conscious life is suffering IMO... so my ideal is a world of philosophical zombies... the non-existence of phenomenal consciousness.
