I pass the test. I shall decline and go into the West and remain a virtue ethicist.
The problem I have with utilitarianism is that I can't shake the feeling that every single utilitarian philosopher would have attempted to wield the One Ring. To use the weapon of the enemy against him, and so supplant him as master of all Middle Earth.

a true utilitarian would know that there is literally no way to use the ring against sauron; rather the ring is tricking you into wearing it. coherent extrapolated volition utilitarianism ftw

On the contrary, utilitarianism dictates returning the Ring to Sauron and enlisting him to overthrow the oppressive regime of Eru Ilúvatar.
