Hello. I'm a fan of your work on animal welfare and effective altruism, two causes I fully support. You are undoubtedly known for your utilitarian ethical position, specifically preference utilitarianism. However, I heard that you have recently switched to hedonistic utilitarianism. Is this true? I am wondering which form of utilitarianism you currently support, and what your current thoughts are on the various divisions (hedonistic vs. preference, total view vs. prior existence view vs. average, negative vs. normal/positive). Thank you.

If you're interested in this, there's a r/wildanimalsuffering subreddit. (This is a good introduction to the subject. So are many of the other articles posted in that sub so far.)
