I don’t understand how “I want there to be the most minds having the time of their lives” is different from “aggregative consequentialist utilitarian[ism].” Isn’t it the same, just phrased a bit more informally?
Well one is a moral claim and the other is a personal preference. If I said “I want pasta for dinner” that doesn’t imply that my moral theory demands that I eat pasta.

I explain my view a bit more in my reply to Diego below. When I wrote this sentence I wasn’t aware of the nature of the inferential gap between us.
