Bluesky needs more Jeremy Bentham. So let’s oblige. Bentham is widely regarded as the originator of utilitarianism: the ethical theory that the right course of action is one which produces ‘the greatest happiness of the greatest number’. #HumanistHeritage

DISMAYED to find this piece of trivia one day AFTER my lecture on Bentham and Utilitarianism
Scrolling through my 5,000 photos on my phone, trying to organise them into albums, and stumbled on this important piece of journalism from 2022 🤣🤣🤣
![It's all downhill for philosophy!
HISTORIAN Greg Jenner had a useful suggestion for utilitarian
philosopher Jeremy Bentham's preserved body. "I asked [its curator] whether it'd allow for maximum happiness if we could put Bentham in a bobsleigh and push him down the hill at the Winter Olympics," Jenner tells us, as Bentham argued for maximising happiness for the most people. But Jenner, host of the You're Dead to Me podcast, says his suggestion was met by
"disappointment and genuine alarm".

I think Bentham remains a good guide to this:
The question is not, can they reason? nor can they talk? but can they suffer?
