Study Notes
Conjugal Dictatorship
- Primitivo Mijares was offered $100,000 for his non-testimony and departure from the US.
Autonomy vs Paternalism
- Autonomy is a moral maturity, where one can think for themselves and impose their own law upon themselves.
- Autonomy means legislating and imposing the law upon oneself, which is moral maturity.
- The opposite of autonomy is paternalism, which means thinking like a child and needing an authority figure to make one comply with the law.
Morality
- The duty to tell the truth has a value today because of the deeper crisis of truth telling (fake news, cyber propaganda, abuse of social media).
- The story of Primitivo Mijares showed the difference between dignity and price.
Utilitarianism
- In Utilitarianism, actions are evaluated according to their consequences.
- Right and wrong are evaluated according to results, where ↑ benefit/happiness is right and ↓ benefit (harm) is wrong.
- Utilitarianism is not a cost-benefit analysis, it surpasses the first-person perspective of typical cost-benefit analysis.
- The principle of Utilitarianism is the greatest happiness for the greatest number, also known as the common good approach.
Intervention Strategies
- The courage to be as an individual is the courage to follow one's conscience and defy unethical and/or unreasonable authority.
- It may even mean staging a revolutionary attack on that authority, which can entail great risk and require great courage.
Utilitarian Calculus
- The second step of the Utilitarian Calculus is to identify alternative actions or policies that are available.
- The goal is to choose the alternative that produces the maximum benefits.
