It seems to me like some type of "equality" is something of a terminal value for me. I tend to have very strong negative emotional reactions to inequality. Intuitively, I prefer a world where everyone lives at a rather low level, than one where some people live at a low level, and some live at a high level. Intuitively, I prefer dust specks to torture.

I think that the type of equality I value is closer to prioritarianism (caring most about the least fortunate) than literal equality. That is, I'd prefer a world where the least well off have 100 utility and the better off have 1000 utility than a world where everyone has ten utility.
