It’s quite evident people do follow discussions on utilitarianism but fail to understand the importance of integrity in a utilitarian framework, especially if one is unfamiliar with Kant. If the public finds SBF’s system of moral beliefs to blame for his actions, it will most likely be for being too utilitarian rather than not being utilitarian enough – a misunderstanding which will be difficult to correct.
Are you disagreeing with something I’ve said? I’m not seeing the connection. (I obviously agree that many people currently misunderstand utilitarianism, or I wouldn’t spend my time trying to correct those misunderstandings.)
