That's an interesting point and highlights one of the criticisms of Harris's framework: the potential conflict between individual and collective well-being. While your personal well-being might increase by becoming the emperor, it might not contribute positively to the well-being of others or society as a whole. Harris's idea of well-being is meant to be considered in a broader context that includes the well-being of all conscious creatures, not just individuals.
In essence, a policy or action that increases the well-being of a single person at the expense of many others would generally not be considered "good" under Harris's framework. The challenge lies in balancing individual interests with collective welfare, ensuring that the overall increase in well-being is maximized.
These kinds of dilemmas often require careful consideration of how different actions impact various stakeholders and involve nuanced decision-making about which outcomes are most beneficial in a broader ethical landscape.
