Anonymous asked: What is your most controversial opinion?
Probably hedonic utilitarianism tbh. I would say suicide rights but there seem to be quite a few closet supporters. Or are you sending this in the hopes of getting a more provocative answer?
If you want us to not be closeted, I support suicide rights. Not because I’m actually pro-suicide, but rather because the preventative measures appear to be way worse than the disease. Also, every time people campaign for more bodily autonomy, people accuse them of basically legalizing suicide, sooo…
^– This is me also. I have never been suicidal but I have been moderately depressed and knowing that my state was only “moderate,” I absolutely support the ability of people who are somehow capable of feeling even worse to stop feeling worse.

I don’t want people to die, and I will certainly seek to build a world worth living in, but autonomy is always the first principle. If you want people to not die, how about making life bearable instead of setting the lower bound for its horribleness artificially low with non-consensual barriers to exit? Nobody else shall be allowed to control anyone’s life or death.
This shouldn’t be so hard; letting people to be excessively miserable without a way out is a really powerful way to have miserable people around (mostly in institutions, where they are under the power and control of someone else), whereas if people were allowed to kill themselves and people who wished them to not kill themselves weren’t allowed to take away that choice, they would be forced to implement more creative and human-flourishing-conductive solutions to people dying.
Once again, personal autonomy creates a superior incentive structure while allowing coercion destroys everything beautiful.
