Main entry
- Nothing should be done unless everybody considers it wonderful / "they had such good reasons for doing what they did that the ends justify the means" -> I am so sick of this phrase and its use in analyzing both fiction and reality. there are so many wrong assumptions in it that are difficult to dig up at first, but whenever anyone uses this concept it always totally distorts their view of how reality really works. you get so many crazy propositions out of this like that it's absolutely not allowed to investigate how reality works without obeying metaphysics, etc.
- Do not what unto others is not wonderful / Do not unto others what they would not decide / Do not what others would not 'unto' themselves / Do not what unto others surprises / Do not what others would not experience / Do not what others would not "unto" -> in the end this thing is a lot like a twisted version of the golden rule.
- Peter Singer should never donate unless tribal populations consider it wonderful / If Peter Singer believes that acting is better than not acting, it results in brutally assimilating tribal populations; telling people that nothing should be done unless people consider it wonderful will somehow cause Peter Singer never to do anything [1] -> no no no no no. I mean, those historical events are real, but this is terrible reasoning to apply to explain them. the moment you start reasoning like this you empower millions of Tories to say that a single person making them use preferred pronouns or teach the history of racism is tyranny. you don't want to open that can of worms. before constructing a system of ethics please just admit that people don't actually have control over other people's minds and decisions.
