@SamHarrisOrg In your reply to Chomsky you argue that intentions matter. I agree. How do you square this with the consequentionalism of TML?

@SamHarrisOrg However, there seems to be no contradiction in saying that good intentions can result in bad, or even disastrous, consequencesThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg@angrysoba Where can I find this response to Chomsky? -
@SmelOdiesOG@SamHarrisOrg The response is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5pHNjBdImo … I agree intentions are important but find it contrary to TML. -
@angrysoba@SamHarrisOrg Thank you. Too bad it's unlikely we'll ever get a proper debate between these two. -
@SmelOdiesOG@SamHarrisOrg Yeah, I think that's very unlikely. I want to see one between Shermer and Harris; they disagree on evo ethics IMO

@evidence_reason@SamHarrisOrg@DonRyanMusic I disagree. The term "well-meaning" is used to acknowledge the moral aspect of a naive action.

@SamHarrisOrg I'd love for you to speak more on this. It seems to me intentions have intrinsic moral value beyond just their consequence. -
@DonRyanMusic They definitely have the value of revealing what a person is likely to do in the future. - 4 more replies

@evidence_reason@SamHarrisOrg But again, this convo is very difficult to achieve on twitter. Andrew--props on circumventing this w/ pics! -
@SamHarrisOrg I thought 1 reason why u don't fully back consequentialism is that it doesn't account enough for intention.@evidence_reason -
