Bentham's Hedonism

Jeremy Bentham looks for an empiricist foundation for morality, and finds it in pleasure and pain. @PhiloofAlexandria

First, thank you for doing a video on Bentham. I've been a fan of Jeremy Bentham since I first read his critique of the Declaration of Independence and realized how similar Bentham's style was to comedian George Carlin's.

I'm sorry the rest of this reply isn't more pertinent to the video, but I just came across a video by science Youtuber Kyle Hill called "What are IMPOSSIBLE COLORS" that has potentially dire metaphysical consequences when combined with Hilary Putnam and the "Brain in a Vat" argument.

In specific - it is a fact that "the color magenta" is entirely a creation of the brain.

If I understand Putnam's brain-in-a-vat argument, this fact about the color magenta means that no one on earth can make a "true" statement about what colour something is. At all.

That idea's a real trip.

Thank you very much, ،،،،Creativity, my greetings to you, my honorable professor, for the information and philosophical entries you provide to us on various fields. Happiness remains in its philosophical concept just an imaginary slogan, but on the level of reality it is just satisfaction and conviction
