Lol I know utilitarianism is not the answer, but that’s the most concise way to say that the vast majority of my thought processes are outcome-oriented
Also, it was kinda necessary to use utilitarianism to get the direct opposites in there for comedic effect. Makes it punchy
I’m with you, that except is just word salad, definitely could use some simplifying
I see your point about the intro, the bait-and-switch was intentional, but I can see how it isn’t the best choice.
Calling out my use of the law of diminishing returns was certainly warranted. I knew that was weak, I just didn’t have the time to rework that point as much as would be needed.
As for the evolutionary disposition points, yeah those absolutely need more evidence before being used as strongly as I did, but my word limit for this was 1000-1250 and it’s sitting at like 1800 as is lol
I do have a question, though. The problem I originally had writing this, was that it felt like a mixed-bag of poorly explained ideas from actual philosophers, with nothing original or convincing to say. I still feel like that’s largely the case, what do you think?
I’m here for the firefly references
I hope the very much not serious tone came across in my post, so I wouldn’t say it bothers me.
I do find interesting, though, because the outcomes of actions are definitely what I focus on more, as a general rule
