Esperanto_is_Valid [they/them, she/her]

I think utilitarianism is more good than bad. It’s one of the major ethical systems, and is often more satisfying than deontological systems or universalizing systems. I’ve seen Kantians get wrapped up in silly beliefs due to their categorical imperatives at least as much as utilitarian/consequentialist ethical floundering. The only meaningful alternative is virtue ethics, which focuses on the cultivation of the ethical agent, but that raises its own questions of how to ground the virtues in a generalizable way. I’m very interested in the attempts to revive virtue ethics.

Among the utilitarians are debates of what to min-max. For example, do we maximize pleasure and become hedonists? Do we minimize suffering like a Buddhist might? I think it’s an interesting question, defining the “utile” in our actions.

But what about the utiles lost by taking the time to consider every possible ramification. MY PRECIOUS UTILES

I’ve been getting into herbal teas lately. Tons of chamomile and lavender to keep me calmer. I have a pitcher which I prepare a strong batch in and like to keep in the fridge for iced tea.

Edit: Some people will get super tired and fall straight asleep from the lavender.

She’s not run in any county or state level election.

This is untrue. She ran for Massachusetts governor twice. Green Party has 144 minor political offices according to Wikipedia, which is unimpressive. They need to do more with their platform.
