Further discussion and analyses.

A quote from J.L. Mackey in ethics inventing right and wrong.

Known for its supposed faults rather than its many actual virtues. That's on youth for the terranism. What do we think? Do what we did last time and maybe give one each of our biggest criticisms, or do you want to start off with some? Are you starting with one? Yeah, let's start with some. We could do utilitarianism with the whole, because we've kind of done them individually if we went to. Yeah, let's just throw a bunch of stuff out there. Okay, well, I guess

my biggest criticism of utilitarianism

is I really don't like the idea

of the masses deciding

what makes the ultimate

happiness. I guess

you could use the example of

Brexit. Let's use something a bit more, kind of less, like, yeah.

Less, that's probably the most controversial.

Yeah, that's difficult.

Well, let's do something less controversial.

Yeah, so, for example, let's say there's a group and there have been many groups in

human history which have decided that for the better of their society, they should eradicate

a section of that society. Yeah, by removing that part of society, all of the problems in that society will go away. And everyone in that society, well, most people, because all you need is most, you don't need a massive majority, you just need a majority, agree. It will remove, you know, whether it's, you know, in a genocide or whatever, we'll get rid of that group. If you got a particular historical example, well, you can feel... There's loads.

I mean, you've got like, you know, the Nazi party, you've got even the stuff that Mao was doing in China. But yeah, I just, I find that really hard to get my head around. I just, just because the most people think it makes them happy doesn't make,

that doesn't mean it's true.
