- mindcrime 8y agoWhat are your thoughts on utilitarianism? If you can implement that in a purely voluntary manner then I'm fine with it. Any other moral framework that you follow if not for utilitarianism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntaryism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voluntaryism
- cimmanom 8y agoWhat I think of utilitarianism is that moral frameworks may be interesting philosophy and maybe even useful for groups to use when making decisions together, but are an unnecessary complication for individuals with a bit of a conscience. The "golden rule" covers about 99.9% of ethical dilemmas I've faced in real life so far.
