Hey Angrboda. Sorry, being a dumb-dumb, what is instrumental utility. Not a concept I have come across before so figured I would ask what you mean rather than look it up and maybe misunderstand you
Also, general comment, not aimed at you - why do we keep focussing on immorality in the definitions… why no focus on what being morally good is, or is it just the absence of the bad? in many instances there is no harm to minimise when we do acts of good. Or am I misunderstanding
