@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing But ISTM (w/o long deep consideration) that in a context of multiple utilitarian agents w/ bounded rationality -
@Meaningness@sarahdoingthing ...that "supererogation" fits into the picture under the heading of lexicographic utility. -
@St_Rev Sorry, I lost the lexicographic utility tweet in the fray there… Can u say another 140 about how supererogation fits into that? -
@Meaningness Obligations have lexicographic precedence over supererogatory virtues. -
@St_Rev Oh, I see! Yes. -
@Meaningness & similarly, social enforcement of supererogatory acts must be lexicographically weaker than enforcement of obligations. -
