[...] the only good thing about any form of utilitarianism: [...] Anyone with complete information of the universe could [...]
It doesn’t make sense to use an impossibility as part of the judging criteria for the goodness of something.
An action/utility function can only ever be a function over (at most) all information available to the agent.
Hey all, I’ve booked a table that seats up to 10, so we have room for a couple more in case there are any last minute RSVPs (it was the only table they had left anyway). We’ll meet outside the restaurant at 7pm and wait a bit before heading in. Please try to be on-time-ish, and let me know if you’re likely to be late. Eight Treasures is quite busy tomorrow and they’re requesting advanced orders, so I’ll send out a menu to you all soon and you can pick some stuff. If you’re fine with whatever, then I’ll fill out the order with a variety of ‘recommend’ dishes. I think most dishes will be shared (it’s a round table with a turntable), so there should be a lot of variety for those who don’t really know what to order.
Looking forward to tomorrow!
Edit: Here’s the menu. Also, this FoodPanda link has dietary stuff marked (most dishes are vegan), and also has prices (click item to see small/medium/large price).
