Totalitarian Utilitarian/Quotes

We do what we must, because we can
For the good of all of us... except the ones who are dead
But there's no use crying over every mistake
You just keep on trying until you run out of cake [...]

I've experiments to run, there is research to be done...

On the people who are still alive!

"If you let me put my thumb on the utilitarian scales, I can get you to agree that you have an affirmative moral duty to torture a three-year-old child to death."

—Belle Waring

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

—C.S. Lewis
