Utilitarianism

"The article says the class was discussing Utilitarianism. It doesn't say what he said in class, but I can't imagine a view on that topic that would warrant disciplinary action."

"Say you're someone who has learned to rationalise your moral responses in terms of utilitarianism (something that produces the greatest pleasure for the greatest number is good). This works to rationalise your reactions to acts of charity, to curing sickness, to avoiding pointless violence etc. Howe"

"It's no longer utilitarian in both senses of the word, which is funny because tech bro effective altruists pride themselves with utilitarianism, it's a Rube Goldberg machine, or better yet, a casino."
