Hey there, glad to see you back. & yeah could very well be :P It took me a while to find my voice when it comes to recording. I'm glad you liked the video though 💪🏽💪🏽

wait, just to clarify. Are you saying that you think that Utilitarians only believe that the needs of the majority are most important if the minority is also utilitarian? Because if so, I don't think that the utilitarian cares for the world view of the minority in any case. Not saying that you believe that, that's just how I interpreted it🙏

@@TheMeaningOfNerd yes, but i agree with you that most utilitarianist wouldn't consider it. i read an article about that interpretation of utilitarianism where you can only do the calculation of the benefits and the suffering of people, if all of the people are utilitarianists. Unfortunately i cant find it rn. i think without that condition utilitarianism is pretty useless. but to be fair my philosophical highschool education regarding utilitarianism is about 8 years old, so i didn't read primary sources of that topic in ages.

@@Funky_Duncy Ahh okay, now I understand. & yes I think if everyone is an utilitarian within a society, utilitarianism would make at least some logical sense. But then again, I believe that's probably also why it can never work within the real world. You'll never be able to get everyone to agree on the same thing. Specially on something as controversial as that. But that's an interesting thought process, thanks :)

@@TheMeaningOfNerd well if everyone in a society would act like the categorical imperative, the concept of the categorical imperative would be awesome. i think thats the problem with most ethical concepts.

There's definitely some truth to that. But then again, I think there's also a lot of beauty in how that can never be the case. How we're all so incredibly different that it couldn't possibly happen. Bc it also means that, this endless difference between humans allows for the possibility of endless improvement & change. Of course it also allows for endless worsening but well, there's no good without the bad, I guess :P

Ehmm what...? Who does this phrase belong to?😂 Either way though, thx a lot, I'm glad you liked it 🙏🏼

Hey there, first of all thanks for the critique, I always appreciate criticism, specially if it makes me think of my own arguments. To address your criticism, yes that was utilitarian of me to make that point. But that kinda was the point. You see, many people often argue against utilitarianism through a moral lense. They would say something like: Even if the outcome is completely positive, it's immoral to justify that, to attain it, horrible means are OK. & I strongly agree with that statement. But in this video I was not trying to show the problems with utilitarianism through a moral lense but rather a logical one. By using their own mindset against them. Utilitarians think that to achieve a positive outcome, any means are justifiable. But the issue that they lack to understand, is that within their own mindset, it is paradoxical to enact something positive through horrible means bc it will inevitably lead to more problems in the future. So yeah you're right, hama is technically not a "true" utilitarian, & why? Bc such a thing doesn't exist and can't exist. You said yourself that it doesn't work bc people can't predict the future. But Utilitarians still exist, & those are the ones that think that the ends justify the means. It's that simple, you can also look up the definition of it. & I think that saying that the ends justify the means is immoral & on top of it illogical as well. But Utilitarians like to brush over the moral critique by saying that morality is complex,& that's why in this video I focused on the logical side of things & on using their own ideology against them. You may disagree, but I will just not believe that the ends justify the means & by what you commented, I don't think you believe that either. But I may be wrong, idk. Either way, thx for the critique & I hope you have a great day 🙏🏼💪🏼
