My New Blog: Everyday Utilitarian

Postby peterhurford on 2013-05-04T20:52:00

Far be it for me to toot my own horn, but I thought Felicifia users would be interested in the new blog I've started. It's called Everyday Utilitarian:

Therefore, you get Everyday Utilitarian, or my blog dedicated to my quest to become just that… an everyday utilitarian, or someone who seeks to put utilitarianism into their everyday life. This blog will definitely focus on the abstract debates you frequently see on philosophy blogs. But it will be a bit more than that. There will be self-improvement and lifestyle building as I craft my everyday utilitarianism. And there will be some discussion of science as it can help build utilitarian communities and answer deep questions about ethics. And there will be political commentary from my utilitarian perspective.

There are other self-improvement sites out there. But I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not out to give you advice. Instead, this blog is a personal blog about a journey, where I work on my life and give you updates on how things are going. And it’s about a particular kind of life — one that seeks to put utilitarianism into practice and make the world a better place. Hopefully you’ll take something out of it and enjoy it.

Let me know.


As a matter of actual feedback, one thing I was thinking of doing on this blog is putting a link at the top (next to "Home", "About", "Contact") that says "Forum" and linking to Felicifia. I think this could bring some more traffic to this forum, but could create misinformation that I "own" the forum more than I actually do.

Any thoughts on that? Or the blog as a whole?

I like it.
"The abolishment of pain in surgery is a chimera. It is absurd to go on seeking it... Knife and pain are two words in surgery that must forever be associated in the consciousness of the patient."

- Dr. Alfred Velpeau (1839), French surgeon

You could link to it as "Utilitarian Forum" (a compromise - that's what it is, the utilitarian forum... That you administrate ;))
Although you might want to fix line 2358 first ;)
