• Managed another run. Doing the couch to 5k.

• Reading [[essays-on-suffering-focused-ethics]]
  • Views are presented as counterintuitive, but I've actually found them to be the opposite
    • Classical utilitarianism is a lot less intuitive!
  • Seems like there are parallels with [[buddhism]]
    • [[william macaskill]] et al. disregard some suffering-focused views as nihilistic
      • What of the attainment of [[nirodha]]?
      • How helpful is it to talk about [[repugnant conclusions]] in the first place?
        • [[slippery slope]]
• Also reading [[frédéric bastiat]]
  • Likely the inventor of the now ubiquitous popular economics journalism
  • [[broken window fallacy]] [[opportunity costs]]
