Bend It Like Bentham

A utilitarianism blog. Bending the truth and distorting the facts of reality so as to conform them with our own set of whims, emotions, faiths and wishes. This blog will take you on a journey through the philosophical musings and inner conflicts of a man entering the world of utilitarianism. We will focus on dissecting the works of Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. Lastly, we will be exposing Objectivism as the irrational philosophy that it is.

Don't Let Objectivists Force Reason On You!

When debating an Objectivist, one thing they will ask of you is to justify your attempts to force your beliefs on them. Sounds fair enough, doesn't it? Well it isn't, you freaking idiot! There is no rational justification for forcing your religious or ethical beliefs on other people. Luckily for Utilitarians, we live in a nation where freedom and property rights are expropriated by legislative power all the time. Religion and altruism are forced down the throats of Americans, and many of them love it, because they too have accepted the guilt-inducing irrational philosophies out there, like religion and altruism.

A philosophy is irrational when it has no foundation in analytic or synthetic knowledge. Religions by definition require faith and are irrational. The belief that men owe self-sacrifice to others, aka altruism, is equally irrational. How can you tell the difference between a rational belief and an irrational one? When you disobey an irrational philosophy, reality is not involved so there is no punishment in reality. When you disobey a rational philosophy (you have to hunt and gather in order to eat, for instance), reality DOES punish you, and death can result.

How dare the Objectivists force their belief on Utilitarians like us by not allowing us to force our beliefs on them?
