When I check for which minds I seem to appreciate among the minds we observe it seems those minds that have larger surface area are worth more. Extrapolating this is weird and it is unlikely that the human mind is the apex of surface area possible. But I am pretty sure that having a larger surface area would not be sufficient to make me care more. However it seems it would be more probable / there would be more resources to have something worthwhile with it, provided that it is not “wasted”. I don’t have a clear handle on what the “good” produced is but just having several acres of neurotissue around is not the finished stage.
