T-Rex: Utilitarianism is an ethical system in which you always act to minimize pain and increase happiness! This is the perfect system for me, as I am ALL ABOUT increasing happiness.
Narrator: UTILITARIANISM COMICS
T-Rex: Dromiceiomimus, I am crushing this house because, holy, what if the people inside are really sad about something? By smushing them, I increase net happiness on the planet over the long term, because they won't be sad anymore, ALSO, stomping makes me happy. Net happiness: increased!
Dromiceiomimus: I don't think that's fair!
T-Rex: We could debate it, but that might make me very sad.
Utahraptor: You must realize that this isn't a fair application of utilitarianism, T-Rex!
T-Rex: I must?
Utahraptor: Yes! Although, you DO raise some of the fundamental problems with the theory: there's no pleasure calculus to measure happiness, especially not one that can take into account the long-term consequences of our actions.
T-Rex: I like this phrase, "pleasure calculus".
T-Rex: Is it truly as erotic as advertised?
