Wow this is exactly the reply I was looking for, and more. Thank you so much!
Since I’m pretty new into philosophy, I believe what you say although I don’t understand it. However you have given me a ton of invaluable starting points from which I can now begin learning how to answer these kind of questions myself.
I imagine at some point in my life I’ll use these ideas to engage in major reflection on my life goals since it sounds like utilitarianism in the form I have always followed is flawed and will need to be revised or even scrapped entirely.
