It is no longer enough just to be a “good person” today.
Remove “today”, and replace “no longer” with “not”. It has never been enough. “Enough” may not, in fact, be a thing.
This is why negative utilitarianism (focused on reducing suffering, without considering frequency and magnitude of offsetting joy) is not for me. More importantly, I just don’t think it’s worthwhile to process it as “good person” as a judgement, but rather “good results” in terms of what future humans experience.
