    I genuinely “Kant” see how someone can justify a moral framework where only the action has intrinsic morality and the consequences are completely irrelevant. Sure, the morality of an action should be considered, but ultimately, real-world choices have to be made from a holistic consideration of the entire situation.

    honestly, though i have long thought of myself as a deontologist, i have begun to think that i’m actually just a cynic. or, rather, i have begun to approach ethics with cynicism.

    i’m starting to think that people just do what they want and then justify it. and this plays nicely with hedonism, which i also find quite appealing.
