with regards to intrinsic value (rather than eg caring about diversity)
Do you have a reference (or sketch of an argument) for why there’s any such thing as “intrinsic value”, and why diversity or variety wouldn’t be part of it?
what i mean here is “with regards to how much moral-patienthood we attribute to things in it (eg for if they’re suffering), rather than secondary stuff we might care about like how much diversity we gain from those worlds”.

If we are attributing moral patienthood, it isn’t intrinsic. At least not intriniscally intrinsic.
