or are you just focusing on the worlds where they are there to pluck because it seems like we can’t do nearly as much if the stars aren’t real? Because I think I’ve come up with some good arguments against the latter
Forthcoming in the next year or so, in my treatise on theology & decision theory & cosmology & moral philosophy, which for better or worse I am going to write in English and not in Latin.
But anyway, I’ll say now that my arguments don’t work for utilitarians, at least for preference utilitarianism the way it’s normally considered. Even if the argument’s valid it still probably doesn’t sway people who are using e.g. the parliamentary meta-moral system and who give much weight to utilitarian intuitions.
Let’s hear them.
