That’s not inconsistent, unless you think you wouldn’t be NU if it weren’t the median position. Actually, I’d argue that you’re ALREADY not the median position.
I think there is some misunderstanding. Medianworld for you is a hypothetical world where you are a median person. My implied idea was that such a world with me as a median person wouldn’t be stable and probably wouldn’t be able to evolve. Of course I’m aware that I’m not a median person on current Earth :)
Hmm. maybe my misunderstanding is a confusion between moral patients and moral agents in your worldview. Do you, as a mostly-negative-utilitarian, particularly care whether you’re the median of a hypothetical universe? Or do you care about the suffering level in that universe, and continue to care whether it’s median or not.

IOW, why does your medianworld matter?
Medianworlds are fanfiction source :) Like, dath ilan is Yudkowsky’s medianworld.
