I like how the guy who thinks Hitler was a good thing because the war he caused spurred a great number of technological (including, incidentally, the nuclear bomb) and societal advances found something that was too utilitarian for his taste after all.
- et1337 11y agoI think by "lessons learnt" he meant learning about the dangers of fascim, racism, nationalism, etc. Not necessarily technological advances.
- wfo 11y agoI think his claim was that the utilitarian analysis is flawed because if you accept it, it may force you to justify Hitler, which is morally unacceptable, so the utilitarian premise that forces you in that direction can't be accepted, and therefore can't be used to justify nuclear weapons either.
