the problem with utilitarianism is usually a heartbreaking lack of imagination, you can be a utilitarian who hates utilitarians because you agree with everything you've written here

I read Omelas as a utilitarian critique of the poorly thought out ethics of people who grandstand about the one suffering child. In this world that isn't powered by the suffering of a child, there are tons of people who suffer as bad or worse, constantly, every day
-
and it doesn't even produce a paradise. You can't call Omelas bad without condemning the world you prefer much more harshly.

This tweet got me thinking and now I think Omelas is good. Thinking is dangerous! Thanks!
