Episode notes

i've become increasingly hostile to utilitarianism. The idea of maximising value in your altruistic endeavours looks complicated when you are dealing with the same metric. i think there's a way in which the effective altruist, montreve yoll do the most good is very, very hard to apply in practice. I'll d pick an example that i don't care for. e will macasscl on what we owe the future. Will yet a link up to that? We're making john stuart mills artebo ebda.

John Stuart Mill's midlife crisis came at 20 when he realized that if he got what he desired he still wouldn't be happy. Art and poetry (and maybe love) saved the day for him. In this week's episode, philosopher Kieran Setiya of MIT talks about his book Midlife with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Setiya argues we can learn from Mill to help deal with the ennui to which so many midlifers succumb--along with regrets for roads not taken and wistfulness for what could have been. Setiya argues that a well-lived life needs fewer projects and more pursuits that don't have goals or endpoints. He explains why past mistakes can turn out to be good things and how lost chances can help us appreciate the richness of life.
