Btw, when it comes to any practical implications, both of these repugnant conclusions depend on likely incorrect aggregating of utilities. If we aggregate utilities with logarithms/exponentiation in the right places, and assume the resources are limited, the answer to the question “what is the best population given the limited resources” is not repugnant.
