Do You Think Net Preferability Is Remotely Scientific?
Do you think net preferability is remotely scientific? I have mixed ings about this one. You can always translate any cision procedure into a procedure of maximizing some function, even if it's the very trivial thing of the function equals one on decisions t at you should make, and the function equals zero on decisions you shouldn't make. So there's always some way to mathematize and to think of a theory of morality as assigning numbers to things. But there can be an objection, namely, what kind of number are you assigning the idea? And this sort of, you know, proto utilitarian consequentialist, write a summing up the net.
