  • what microphone are you using to record this lecture.

    I might recommend getting an H4N recorder ($200) best quality for lowest cost.

  • that's right! tnx

  • doody

  • Thanks for the snapshot... and I think you did a good job blending some good finfo with an entertaining style... kudos, you've got some zing! Thx good stuff!

  • @Diosukekun I agree, although the lectures sound interesting, you definitely rush it for no reason, I cannot focus, and why on earth you conclude that something is confusing? perhaps to some it is not... anyway, some lessons of speech are greatly recommended...

  • Gosh, you read the text too fast, were you in a hurry or what?

  • Wow! You've helped a poor student today! Your intentions must be good! ;)

  • @dreamerwebdev My criticism is centered on that we cannot know if something inflicts pain or causes happiness, because it's so subjective and different from case to case.

    Cutting the arm of a person that cannot feel pain is still unethical, for an example.

  • Can you give me an e.g. of some behavior that causes no pain that may not be ethical? Behavior seems to me would be good, neutral or bad ethically. I'm not sure how to respond to that. As far as finding happiness I think I know what you mean, but doesn't seem so hard in Utilitarianism to simply give an educated 'guess' (guess because we only know the future to a degree) and know that most likely if I do this it's going to be a good thing or bad thing and in some cases not matter if you act.

  • @dreamerwebdev I looked it up in my dictionary. Happy - fortunate; having, expressing or enjoying pleasure or contentment, pleased, appropriate, felicitous.

    How do you formulate this into a universally applicable ethic-system? What makes everyone consider themselves fortunate, what makes everyone pleased and content? Ok, formulating absence of pain and suffering is of course more easy, but is every behaviour ethical as long as it doesn't inflict pain?
