It says that humans always will seek to make those choices (where choice is possible) calculated to provide them with the most "good" outcomes or to avoid the most "bad" outcomes. Since a positive "balance" between good and bad in our lives generally makes us "happy", this would seem to be an expression much like yours in this post. If, however, people always behave this way (assuming their analysis of the data available is accurate and there is enough time within which they can make such 'choices') this is not really a "philosophy" so much as a descrition of Human behavior. N.B. I happen to believe that it is a generally accurate description of human behavior. If true, it totally obviates any suggestion of "moral" law.Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10797750710657979526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2327069052684075877.post-47309531648362788392010-11-08T10:43:32.144-06:002010-11-08T10:43:32.144-06:00What the hell is that?!
