My objection is the dualism implied by the whole idea. There’s no consciousness that can have such a veil—every actual thinking/wanting person is ALREADY embodied and embedded in a specific context.
I’m all in favor of empathy and including terms for other people’s satisfaction in my own utility calculations, but that particular justification never worked for me.
