There’s the consequentialist/utilitarian click, and the intelligence explosion click, and the life-is-good/death-is-bad click, and the cryonics click.
I can find a number of blog posts from you clearly laying out the arguments in favor of each of those clicks except the consequentialism/utilitarianism one.
What do you mean by “consequentialism” and “utilitarianism” and why do you think they are not just right but obviously right?

Hmm… you probably want to read Circular Altruism. There are different forms of utilitarian consequentialism. The LW wiki has a blurb with links to other useful posts.
It’s linked from the wiki page, but just to shorten the distance: The “Intuitions” Behind “Utilitarianism” was what came to mind for me.
