Utilitarians are insane villains from pulp SF who have a borderline Pre-Socratic understanding of the world.
...I actually hold a lot of utilitarian views. I'm not one in the absolute sense, in the same way that I'm probably not a pure ethical hedonist, but I sympathise with many elements of the philosophy.

Utilitarians online are the kind of people who will spend literal weeks arguing about the moral weight of dust specks before they admit that there might be alternative forms of morality.
Utilitarians are the kind of people who will invent a charity movement that goes out of its way to make sure people know where their money goes and how it's helping when they donate to charity, and then let the whole thing get hijacked by robocultists

Am in Tucson now.
Come November, I'm voting for Trump. I want to watch the world boil, want to punish the internet and the world and humanity for letting this anathema happen.

That is potentially true.
i might be slow to respond due to time zones, but PM whenever you want.
if it's interpreted broadly then i guess i'm sympathetic to the general idea
if it's something that results to formulations like "x human deaths = y specks of dust to the eye" then it's a joke

I've been there
I guess I'm just realizing that things have to go back to normal.
I watched Jurassic zworld in the car.
Needed more dinosaurs and less dialogue. Otherwise fantastic.
