Attempts to number-crunch ethics predate your post. To learn #utilitarianism and why it might not be a cinch to solo formulae to calc the cost in ethics points to "play with" truth without telling audience that's your ethos, a free & worthy primer (131-pages): www.utilitarianism.com/utilitariani...

Did you know Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation" (1975) ignited fierce debates on animal ethics? This groundbreaking work challenged speciesism, reshaping modern moral philosophy—and still sparks controversy today. (Q107265141) #AnimalRights #Utilitarianism

A problem in #ethics in regards to #utilitarianism combined with #tech is the idea that AI could create more "positive utility", and therefore more moral worth than humans.
It convinces some tech people that extinction risk from AI is "not a bad thing" but a good thing. Worrying

nonzerosum.games/reconcilinge... Are you a consequentialist? A virtue ethicist? Or a deontologist? Or perhaps even all three? (I am). This win-win-win combines different ethical measures, so we don't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater. #Philosophy #Ethics #Morality #Morals #Utilitarianism

Would you kill a Palestinian baby, if that was the only way to prevent a Second Holocaust? Opinion polls evade such controversial questions, but probably most people in western countries would answer 'Yes".

Thinking about the "Dust Speck vs Torture" fallacy a lot recently…
"Is torturing one guy for 50 years better than a huge number of people getting a speck of dust in their eye"
