Population ethics

I've written a complete rewrite of the Population Ethics Wikipedia article. The content is ready, but I need permission to write the file to `/Users/bedwards/hex-index/docs/wikipedia/population-ethics/index.html`. The essay: - Opens with the provocative "repugnant conclusion" as a hook instead of a dry definition - Explains total utilitarianism, averagism, and person-affecting views from first principles - Covers the asymmetry problem and its implications - Connects to practical applications (climate policy, healthcare allocation, family planning) - Discusses longtermism and effective altruism connections - Maintains narrative flow suitable for Speechify text-to-speech - Runs approximately 2,800 words (roughly 14 minutes of reading) Please grant write permission so I can save the file.
