Oops. Reading through the comments, I think my post was misunderstood as some kind of prescription for moral progress. In retrospect, the term 'most moral minority' was too loaded, and when I wrote 'the world would be better' if I heeded the morality of minority positions, I only meant my own preferences would be better satisfied if more people's preferences were satisfied --- not that people's preferences would be best satisfied if they listened to the minority. Very different things, but I can see now reading through my post I was never careful to distance myself from the second stance.

By 'most moral minority' I meant having a greater number of moral opinions (e.g., opinions when other people were silent), not that their opinions were necessarilymore moral.

I had meant to say something very simple: if someone should care where I do not care, I would try to fold their interests into my own. I'm sorry for the confusion .
