The utilitarianist perspective on ethics is deeply questionable -- it presupposes that we know what goal to pursue (we don't) and that we can predict the impact of choices wrt our progress towards that goal -- not only first order impact, but 2nd order and 3rd order as well.

Define "end goal", I would argue there can only be "local" end goals. We can never know what doesn't exist in the first place

Isn’t this the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning? Sorry for being the stupid guy interfering in the marketplace of geniuses.

No worries! I see no marketplace neither geniuses here
AFAIK:
Principle → action = deduction
Action ← consequences = abduction

Utilitarianism is ideal as long as we weigh morality consequentially, which we should if outcomes matter more that actions. But for overly complex moral problems, acting on principles is more feasible.

This supposes that any arbitrarily chosen set of principles is a good one. Clearly a bad idea, given that a set of principles can value murder and suffering.
