No Avail | Axiological Deprivationalism And Total Commensurability Between Highs And Lows @No_Avail | Uploaded December 2015 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
...among extant persons (of which there are many). This is far from benign. Deprivationalism's "Don't make more persons" prescription is meant to serve as its teleological redeemer, but it does nothing to combat the voluminous horror of value/disvalue symmetric package-deals applicable to those who already exist. Failure to abjure such free-for-all commensurablility is the hallmark of positive utilitarianisms, not negative ones. Once you fuzzy the line between utility & disutility, you really should consider turning in your NU card. And yet, Deprivationalism, fantastical though it may be, seems to have cornered the market on NU.
Truly a Twilight Zone.
