[QUOTE="Addendum_Forthcoming, post: 4181, member: 22"] More a conundrum, I shouldn't have said 'argument'. It's more about the 'precipice of the abyss'. I think one factor you're leaving out is the capacity for success. If you're using a utilitarian metric (units of happiness) you need also to accommodate success (results matter) ... which means a fixation on foresight yo combine as humanly possible all aspects of potentiality of agency. Thus even if a decent person, one can be paralyzed to act (one aspect of Kierkegaardian despair)... or becomes passionate to act (where they throw caution to the wind) ... or they become apathetic to act whereby you have complicity through either refusing to use foresight, or surrender one's empathy (a failure to count stars). It's best to live passionately than it is to know only the despair of your inadequacy, or to surrender one's empathy and be swallowed whole by the void. [/QUOTE]
