    “Every ethics course pans utilitarianism”

    “I took ethics and they gave very serious consideration to utilitarianism”

    “Am I out of touch? No, it’s the ethics professors who are wrong”

    Do you hear yourself?

      I said you had a bad professor if they didnt teach the basics of how utilitarianism leads people to justifying genocides as a moral positive. In fact id go so far as informing you that the failure of your professor to give you that understanding means they didnt teach it seriously.

      I never said they shouldn’t teach it or that it wasnt a philosophy to teach seriously. I said its a bad philosophy. And many professors of philosophy do teach it as such and include covering the massive moral and structural failings of the concept.

      Do you hear yourself? Because you’re arguing things I never stated.
