[Serious] Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
#86
RE: Moral Obligations toward Possible Worlds
Granted, and when you come to that point, you have to have some way to measure aggregate happiness and happiness by utilitarianisms definition. I'd restate it as a possibility, that -even if- there were some utilitarian good to slavery that showed itself in the final analysis - you'd still think it was wrong.

-and, I'd say, you'd be right. It was only ever a utilitarian good, even in that event, and the need for qualification says everything.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
