Anyone else here interested in population ethics and utilitarianism?
Familiar with The Repugnant Conclusion and The Utility Monster as thought experiments?
I don't believe in the aggregation of utility unless the pain or pleasures of the experiences aggregated are identical.
I don't support average or total utilitarianism.
I am a consequentialist and I do believe that suffering in the long run is bad. I believe pleasure in the long run is good.
I prioritize minimization of suffering over maximization of pleasure.
Anyone else here familiar with this sort of thing?
