defend the indefensible: utilitarianism

I do not think people by and large engage in moral reasoning when they decide to vote or in advance of most other choices they make

silby i love u welcome back but that doesnt make sense at all

nor does utilitarianism

i don’t know what your definition of moral reasoning is and i am aware your very cool posting style is just to angrily say stuff without deigning to ever give reasons, but it seems to me that the consequences of donald trump being president for another four years were weighing on many people’s minds

I’ve lost track of my reasons if you want me tbrrwu

I don’t even know what a reason is anymore flopson

silbipsism

That’s where I believe everyone exists except me

Anyway first response hall of fame itt

I am still a utilitarian

Philpapers (though that was 2009) has

Normative ethics: deontology, consequentialism, or virtue ethics?
Other 301 / 931 (32.3%)
Accept or lean toward: deontology 241 / 931 (25.9%)
Accept or lean toward: consequentialism 220 / 931 (23.6%)
Accept or lean toward: virtue ethics 169 / 931 (18.2%)

I'm a consequentialist but not a utilitarian.

well I'm a moral sceptic really but inasmuch as we still can should be excellent to each other, consequentialism is the only game in town.

I reject ethical rationalism after Hume
