I'm afraid I'm downvoting this, not because I generally disagree with it, but because this is obvious stuff you should derive yourself. Nobody should have to read philosophy to come up with the ideas of value monism versus pluralism, average utilitarianism versus assigning utility to low variance of the utility distribution, or utility and disutility monsters and their consequences. This is a step backwards from other posts on the site addressing the issue.
