Utility monsters and driving
Post Body
- Everyone is a utilitarian, whether they admit it or not. T.
- People will occasionally stop moving their car--in the middle of the street (i.e., not where you're supposed to stop)--to let another person into the street. T.
- They will often do this even if there are a dozen cars behind them. T.
- Therefore, they must be assuming that the person being let in gains more utility from being let in than the dozen people behind them lose. T.
- These people are thus recognizing utility monsters on a small scale--those who will be made happier by gaining two seconds than the combined happiness of a dozen people. T.
Soundsvalid.
