In all seriousness and with all good intent, I am quite serious when I say that thinking the world is without value is in fact a textbook symptom of depression.
But I think you have chosen to ignore the larger point of my comment that morality is really self-determined. Saying that your personal morality leads to an assessment of net negative utility is saying that “my arbitrarily chosen utility function leads to not-useful outcomes.” Well.. pick another.
Thanks for your reply, username2. I am disheartened to see that “You’re crazy” is still being used in the guise of a counterargument.
Why do you think the net utility of the world is either negative or undefined?
Interesting username.
