(LONG) "I Don't Know" as a Good Answer in Ethics

And it is also best for everyone else that wants these things, to live in societies that maximise well being, and minimises the oposite.

There a few other ways to think about it. All one has to do is ask oneself, "what would a society be like if everyone did the thing I am about to do? Would it be a better society, or worse?".

Are you the love child of John Stuart Mill and Kant?

Yeah, those all serve as a good basis for ethics. See ethicists come to their formulations through reason, noting the limitations of this methodology. That's what I mean't by humble.

Are you claiming that absolutely?
