This is really useful as a framing for what kinds of disagreements arise among altruists (or within an altruist who notices a conflict in their intuition). I think it also explains some of the variance in altruistic targets (whether you care about distant very poor people more than closer but way less poor, or animals, or “the rich” or other categories which can be understood on these dimensions).
