Apologies in advance for all of these.

You get to come up with a couple blocks of blisteringly witty text that will shoot down utilitarianism as ethically sound and I will say them out loud in class. Short and sweet is better as my teacher has a tendency to cut people off mid-paragraph if they get too wordy. HOWEVER: I will record it when I say it. GO GO GO

You can also start sobbing and saying that this discussion is making you INCREDIBLY upset, and you are suffering more than they are gaining utility from the discussion so ethically it must cease.

Man, my sleep schedule is all messed up. I wake up early for swimming every day, but then I'm tired when I get home so I take a nap, but then I go to bed late so I don't get a lot of sleep before waking up early for swimming and so on and so forth. I'm trying not to nap right now, but it's a warm day (but not hot like yesterday or cold like this morning) and I have my fan going creating a nice breeze and I'm eating grapes for a snack and it's so drat calm and comfortable here right now that I want to sleep.

Having played Socrates Jones, a flash game designed as an introduction to philosophy, I know a thing or two about Utilitarianism. Basically the big deal with it is that it's hard to define what exactly is utility and what really increases it. There are also some very troubling implications that the happiness (or whatever they're defining as utility) of some people are better than others. For instance, if stringing up and murdering Rand Freemarket (use real name) would make everybody else in the class happy, thus increasing the most utility, is that the right thing to do?

Also this discussion hasn't used the word "utility" even once, in our (lovely) textbook it's framed as happiness vs suffering

I've been reeeeeaaaaaallllly relentless in my shaming of Rand Freemarket. Every loving time he opens his mouth I ridicule him. I have shamed him so hard he has stopped talking and sulks through every class now. This started on day one when he tried to argue that refusing to vote is a meaningful, productive form of protest and that if the majority of citizens refused to vote, "they'd have to change the system"

oh ok, strict happiness is still pretty easy to game. According to some study, money makes you happier but caps out at $75000 a year. Making more than that doesn't really increase your happiness. The best thing to do according to utilitarianism is to take all the money that people make above that and give it to people who make less.

Look Under The Rock posted:Help me put this in words that don't sound so overtly like trolling and I'll do it A member of the proletariat is statistically less likely than a member of the bourgeoisie to be happy. A member of the bourgeoisie also is statistically more likely, due to the nature of their class, to be able to better utilize any land a prole owns. In order to maximize utility, whoever is able to use resources the best should be the ones to receive those resources. It then follows that the bourgeois should then be able to utilize all land, leaving no place for the proles other than graves. ..or something.
