    Counterargument: it makes sense to support whatever system would create the best life for everyone, rather than just creating good experiences for you while others are forced to struggle and suffer, because you aren’t a selfish arsehole.

    Another version: it makes sense to support whatever system creates the most good for everyone AND is most stable, because the countless future generations matter far more than you.

      That’s your value and you can use OP’s formula to act accordingly. But you can’t force other people to adopt your values, that would be tyranny (and also kinda impossible). Not that I disagree with you but that’s not a counterargument, you’re just expressing how YOU would apply the formula OP presented.
