one of the fathers of modern utilitarianism

in #news4 years ago

John Stuart Mill, one of the fathers of modern utilitarianism, argued, So long as an opinion is strongly rooted in the feelings, it gains rather than loses stability by having a preponderating weight of argument against it.

Mill was a proponent of building opinions solely on facts. He saw, one hundred years early, the futility of internet arguments. Our rationales are dangerously burdened by our emotions and sense of identity. I have yet to see an internet argument end with two people saying, Great! Im glad we had this discussion. We learned so much.

I made a rule when I began writing online: no internet arguments. The mask of incognito is an enemy of civil discourse. I redirect that energy to other things. Is it really worth going through your day, angry about what a stranger said to you online?

They say the lottery is a tax on people who cant do the math. I would say arguing on the internet is a tax on people who dont value their time.

Personal relationships becoming a black hole
Nearly a decade ago, I was sitting on a couch in a marriage counselors office.
