It eventually chased me away from philosophy, specifically analytic philosophy of the Anglo-American variety.
…But variants of this way of thinking are everywhere in Anglo-American philosophy, inherited from Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, and other utilitarians. They were the geniuses who decided that morality must aim at maximizing pleasure.
Analytic philosophy has basically nothing to do with utilitarianism other than the fact that both were/are popular in the Anglosphere and had a few overlapping thinkers like Moore.
This person doesn’t seem to know much about philosophy, as this rambling post makes clear.
