Tbh, I don’t think what I think is actually so important. The project was mainly to take arguments and compile them in a way that I thought was most convincing. I think these arguments have various degrees of validity in my mind, but i don’t know how much saying those actually matter.
Also, and this is definitely not your fault for not catching this, I write tell me why I’m wrong at the end of every blog post, so it was not a statement of endorsement.
My previous blog post is entitled against utilitarianism, but I would largely consider myself to be a utilitarian (as I write there).
Also, I can think the best arguments for a given position are still pretty bad.
I much appreciate the constructive criticism, however.

On the contrary, I think that it is really important for the writer of the article to say what they think and why. Without that, it’s just a shapeless list of here’s an argument someone once made, and here’s another argument that someone else once made, and here’s more. If the writing is not powered by a drive to discover what is true, it’s of no more interest to me than a chatbot’s ramblings.
