- meowface 5y agoI totally disagree. I consider myself a consequentialist, and I absolutely think the net positive utility would come from paying the ransom and rescuing your child. The problem isn't consequentialism but merely an insufficiently nuanced analysis of potential actions one could take and their potential consequences.
