Simon Rosenqvist recently completed his PhD in philosophy at Uppsala University and we cover his conclusions in this podcast. We talk about consciousness in humans, animals and machines We discuss the best formulation of utilitarianism And we talk about two problems for utilitarians: the problem of conflicts between the utilitarian judgements and moral intuitions and the problem of action guidance, which is roughly the problem that utilitarianism is not useful when deciding what we should do, since what we should do depends on the consequences of our actions millions of years into the future.
