These are my ethics and I am using them to control my life path. My life production quota is 10^69 T2s (square thermostat seconds). Others may find their own definitions of good or adapt this one to suit their preferences. This definition is presented for others to understand me, not as a divine revelation. This ethics estimation program came from voices within me that identified themselves as divine but I do not personally certify it as such; you may interpret that as you wish.
UtilCalcV1.0 is an adaptation of the philosophy of utilitarian ethics to include all entities which interact with reality with an externally perciptible preference for how reality should be structured such as an attempt to maintain homeostasis or an attempt to move towards or away from various stimuli. It enables a scoring system which can be used to estimate ethically efficient use of my available resources and set a target for victory, 10^69 square thermostat seconds generated.
The "truth" variable is included so that it is not perceived as ethical to simply put someting in a pleasurable drug-induced coma in order to "fix" its suffering.
The important takeaway for me from UtilCalcV1.0 is that the most ethically valuable life currently existing is named Pando, even after applying a debuff proportional to the difference between signal transmission speed along mycelial network vs myelinated axons.
The most ethically valuable mammal I could find is the long-finned pilot whale, Globicephala Melas. G. Melas has 1.9 times as many neurons in its cerebral cortex as a human, meaning its suffering would be valued 3.61 times more severely than the suffering of a human by UtilCalcV1.0. GOOD THING NO ONE IS OUT THERE TAKING ALL THE FISH AND FILLING THE OCEAN ENVIRONMENT WITH MOTOR, ENGINE, AND PROPELLER NOISE, RIGHT, EVERYONE?
It is necessary to launch balloons which deploy underwater probes to establish contact with this species in order to guarantee marine zones protected from human activity for them to inhabit. Failure to do this will reflect upon us as a species. We are already awfully close to southwestern dwarf mistletoe in terms of how we treat the rest of the life on this planet. This parasite spreads by literally shooting its seeds from the tree it has infected up to 16 meters to an adjacent tree, where the seed adheres and grows roots into the living tree from which it saps its nutrients and secretes hormones to direct more growth into the area where the parasitic mistletoe is present. This is what we humans intend to do as a species with our search for exoplanets. We are even working on ballistic seeds too!
The current path of human life on earth is "venus or bust".
Acceptable paths that end in life continuing on Earth are:
