It doesn’t matter here at all what Kant said since most people don’t agree with him on that.
actually most professional philosophers are deontologists. and they eat meat and eggs and dairy.
What are you talking about? Why should I care what “professional philosophers” do? That’s just some nonsense without any context.
Edit: it feels like whenever you realize being wrong about something you just switch to another topic.

I’m following your lead. if you want to stick with your assertions about pleasure and suffering I’ll be glad to eviscerate utilitarianism for you.
Why should I care what “professional philosophers” do?
they’re the experts on ethics and logic, both of which you seem to think you have a firm grasp on. I’m pointing out that you are probably mistaken.
I’ve never met someone so confidently incorrect on Lemmy before. You just switched “most people” to “most professional philosophers” and now you are trying to win at least some argument about that. That’s derailing at its finest.
if you want to lose an argument about the validity of utilitarian ethics, I’ll be happy to help you. if you want to keep throwing out red herrings, and you can stop making it personal, that’s fine too
