Скачать или смотреть Happiness is Overrated: The Philosophy Behind Anxiety and Morality

Utilitarianism, especially Jeremy Bentham's version, focuses on maximizing happiness. But for someone like me, prone to anxiety and life's constant struggles, aiming for happiness as the ultimate goal feels... off. If happiness is the key, then why even bother living when anxiety and fear dominate the experience?

In this video, I dive into how our personality traits, like neuroticism, could influence our moral preferences. Is morality really about happiness, or could there be a deeper, more logical foundation? I compare this with deontology, particularly Kant's universalization of maxims, which seems to work in every possible world—regardless of whether people are happy or not.
