# Ven Graham I would say I'm a rule utilitarian.  In general, I think...

*February 3, 2023 — Comment Archer T. Ships replied to Lavender Graham's comment.*

Ven Graham I would say I'm a rule utilitarian.  In general, I think it's best to follow ethical rules that I think lead to mutually beneficial outcomes most of the time (don't steal, don't murder, tell the truth, etc), but that can be broken sometimes under unusual circumstances (such as Nazis at the door, lifeboats, etc.)
