Admittedly, I do not have much of an idea about Infinite Ethics, but it appeared to me that the problem was to a large extent about how to deal with an infinite number of agents on which you can define no measure/order so that you can discount utilities.
Right now, I don’t see how this approach helps with that?
The canonical problem in infinite ethics is to create a preference relation over [0,1]N which is in some sense “reasonable”. That’s what this approach does.
