(which would mean we cant really be principled because of limited perceptions)
(if we were egoists, that is)
Or, from an empirical consequentialist perspective, it means that we should allow people to try different principles, and see what happens
yea, we should do that too
if it turns out that being principled leads to better results than critical thinking
then we should be principled
actually, i argue this is true for most people
people are pretty bad at making these evaluations
I don't disagree with that point
(at least on the big decisions in their lives)
that's probably one of the functions of religious institutions
yes
i mean, its also part of why we have the law
true
so yea, there's definitely a large place for deontological thinking. i just think if you're a particularly smart person, you're losing out by following it
(deontology doesnt catch out the edge cases)
so if you can get those edge cases right, and others cant, you have an advantage over them
heh, depends on the cost of figuring out those edge cases vs the benefit of solving them
definitely
you could have a hybrid system
rather than having them instituted without any good justification
(which is what i argue a lot of people do -> they take "learned principles" from other people, but where did those other people get their principles from 😉 its almost like an infinite regression and when you look at where they came from, a lot of them were originally derived in a bygone era, and thus the principle may no longer be useful in its consequences)
I agree on that point. And with that, I'm off to bed. Good night.
