    I assume your comment is very tongue-in-cheek, in which case it was a fun read. What follows is my response if it isn’t.


    Well, the top-level comment said μg, which was the basis of my questioning the second-level comment. Not sure where your millicentigrams came from.

    Also, your math is weird. You wouldn’t multiply your exponents like that, you’d add them. As noted at the top, though, I suspect your whole comment is in jest and the math is meant to be the giveaway aimed at the literal-minded like me.









  • Because deontology says the act of causing harm should be inherently bad, but utilitarianism says you should do what creates the most good.

    I can’t side with utilitarianism for the example of killing a healthy person to harvest organs for multiple dying patients. For the powerful who gladly profit off of the suffering of millions and the destruction of our environment… it’s harder to say utilitarianism feels wrong.
