Ethics

This chapter is a long-winded argument directed at reasonable people who believe in ethics. While most of the ideas here aren't new, I haven't found any single place where they have been compiled into a cohesive argument that assumes minimal knowledge from the reader.

My primary goal is to convince you that any reasonable person who believes in ethics should believe in a variant of utilitarianism. In doing so, I hope to counter the idea that ethics is entirely subjective.
