Bo Winegard, a social psychologist and author, critiques utilitarian ethics, particularly the views of Peter Singer. He argues that the pursuit of the greatest good can lead to troubling outcomes, questioning whether utilitarianism is a solid moral foundation. Bo discusses the shift from act to rule utilitarianism, explores deontological ethics, and defends a pragmatic approach focused on community flourishing. They dive into the complexities of punishment, the limits of human nature, and challenge the moral implications of high-impact individuals versus egalitarianism.
