They are not related because you have to exist to experience well-being or "bad-being". What I'm talking about is consenting to exist.

Longtermists try to justify their actions by invoking potential, future generations. Those don't exist either.

They're presuming that people will exist, which is not a wild assumption

But that's not a philosophy I particularly subscribe to so I don't feel compelled to explain or defend it further.
