@carlephilosophy: How to Mug a Utitilarian #philosophy #utilitarianism #stoicism #fyp

.flamxz ✝️ :

Utilitarianism is HORRIBLE 💔💔💔

SEN Xexmit :

well, i mean at some point it's gonna stop

dragonblooded349 :

it'll only happen 10 times

perc10 :

why is he mugging? because he doesnt have money? so capitalism is the issue, not utilitarianism (which by its nature is anti capitalist)

Pinakoteka :

After 10 days I would invite him to bowling

ali :

Realistically he can only do it 21 times only

Nare :

a utilitarian wouldn't be justified in giving the money lol . they have no good justification to believe that the mugger will follow through

suda :

give him 100 and ask if hes okay obviously

Emporio Pucci :

what if the utilitarian is also a sadist?

່nstrevo_ :

after 10 trials I'll have nothing to worry about

Matjes 🐟 :

Somewhat wrong, if me loosing the 10 bucks is worse (for me) than the guy loosing the finger (for him), then I shouldn’t give it to minimize worldwide unhappiness or whatever the English word is

Mary :

easy, give money, pretend to drop it, "oh what a shameful mistake" pretend to pick it up, pull him down, hold his hands, take him to your house, explain to him the story and mysteries of the hit game Undertale, leave him go with a reshaped perception of the world, ready to work to make it better

PhilosophicalOne2 :

A utilitarian is not responsible for other people harming themselves. The one who harms himself acts immorally.

archangel940 :

being a utilitarian does not mean you value other lives above your own. me with money and a thief without a finguer is defacto the outcome that would provide the biggest happiness to the world

Hannah 🩷 :

if I have $10 I am absolutely giving them to him. someone willing to do that clearly needs them much more than I do. also I don't wanna see that. it would be traumatic for me

Main Gale :

I mean, a one time example of something is hardly enough proof to set a patter

Haru_zz. >-< :

what if I pretend to be deaf

Feverio :

Wait, why would the mugger lose a finger?

loplop :

don't spend it all in one place

ferretto :

refuse every day so nobody else is traumatized

no goggles mark :

𝅙 :

well obviously he really needs that $10 so I'd give him the $10

▐┛Be_real🇲🇩 :

until 10

This is basically what peaceful protesters think will happen when they protest. Fix the economy or I'll take a unpaid week off work to tell you to fix the economy!
