When Spock says the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, he's explaining the logic of his own personal self sacrifice. If you use that argument to justify sacrificing other people but not yourself, then you're just a sociopath. It's the difference between jumping on top of a grenade to save everyone around you at the cost of your own life, versus pushing someone else on top of a grenade so that he's the only one who dies. I don't think most people would consider both those options equally ethical.

[@bofoshow5189]

Utilitarianism is based on the ethical viewpoint that raw numbers are the only valid lense to consider for acting towards a greater good. By definition it doesn’t differentiate whether it’s my life, your life, some random stranger. If you can sacrifice one to save 50, you do it every time and that would be ethical, under utilitarianism.

@@supertyrantkhan1878 But consider this, would you take organs from one healthy person which will kill them to save 5 people with failing organs that will die without a transplant? Kill one or let five die? It's the same logic on a utilitarian basis right? But the scenario is undeniably different. The train car dilenma proposes that there is no choice but one or the other, reality is not so cut and dry. For example you could wait for different people to show up with organs that the five dying patients need and save at least some of them instead of deeming it necessary to harvest organs from one person to save the five.

@@bofoshow5189 No, utilitarianism is an ethical viewpoint where actions should promote the greatest amount of happiness, while avoiding unhappiness. A world where random people get sacrificed for others would ultimately lead to more unrest and unhappiness then it would create of the opposite, imo.

Knowing that the imminent collapse of the ecosystem and our food supplies is on the way and doing nothing is just as evil if you ask me. This is basically the trolley problem, would you pull the track to save 5 people instead of killing one. Most people would rather not flip the switch at all even if it led to everyone aboard dying. Ofc, this argument is more of a parallel for our current situation rather than comic book logic. Ofc they could easily conjure up a bunch of problems inside the narrative universe to wave away the issue, but theres a reason its brought up in the first place int he comics and it would defeat the point of dealing with a hard problem with no perfect solutions by just magic'ing it away with some plot device.

Again, I think most of your audience agrees with the idea of the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Yeah I’d probably would watch someone else if there was anyone else making these. Many people think many out ways the few but that’s been tried in history many time like the French Revolution. It always ends with the needs of the people who take control out ways everyone else. He talked about people don’t face a problem tell they have to but killing people to move forward leads to more and more people get “sacrificed”. When is it to many? If 80% is fine why not 90 or 99%. And what happens when you end up in the group to be killed. You said it was for the betterment of everyone else will you take a knee and except it. Or is that when it becomes a problem. Not to mention who decides who is needed. Theres a lot of people that would see KZbins as non essential and put Rob on chopping block almost first. Not to mention if you killed say 25% of the population, what happens to everything of where society is. That many people dying would lead to an almost total collapse of minder society and ways of living just from lack of transportation personal alone. It just doesn’t make sense to kill people to make way for the new when you need people to make the new.

[@NocioKu]

I want to preface this with I haven't read past this point and I do not know what happens next but I do think it is important to actually make notice of the actual point of Dinosaurus, He is a Sociopathic abuser that likes to Kill people in mass (like the dinosaurs died) and gaslights Mark to make it seem acceptable, although there are ways to accomplish the same goals for someone of his intellect without anyone dying. He wants to "encourage humanity to fix it's own problems" but he creates so many issues once you actually consider the ramifications. It's really concerning that Rob doesn't see Dinosaurus as anything but a homicidal maniac. HE JUST KILLS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND THEN GASLIGHTS MARK INTO BELEIVING IT IS FOR THE GOOD OF "HUMANITY". Vegas, he could have built a fusion reactor plant and hacked into every grid and powered the entire continent. In relation to that him turning the city of vegans would make that area inhospitable even for the flora and fauna natural to the area. The increase of the heat via the reflection of the glass would cause insane weather conditions around the world due the the heat generated from that one huge glass sheet. I'm convinced he actually wants humanity to go extinct but hasn't figured out exactly how to do it without destroying the whole planet. This is not Utilitarianism he is causing mass extinction event intentionally for the future humanity that even he knows with in 10 or so generation will likely be entirely Viltrumite.

I always felt that subscribing this hard to utilitarianism showed a lack of ingenuity and problem solving. Yes, if someone puts a gun to my head and says choose between 1 person being killed or 20 and I have 30seconds, sure you can make an argument and it makes some sense. But all these situations are supposed to show how stupid these decisions are. Dinosaurus is too concerned with being right cause if he wanted to help his vast intelligence should allow him to come up with some solutions that at the least require less loss of life. Mark wouldn’t have had to to explain that to him. It’s a lazy argument based more on pride than practicality.

The further this comic goes it seems glaringly obvious that Dinosaurus is either lying about his love of death or so unbelievably stupid that he can’t see the huge boon he would be in creating a peaceful solution to a problem he claims to care about. The guy creates tech that shifts tectonic plates and he can’t create something useful? The energy output alone for such a feat is staggering. He knows that insane tech exists out in space too. There are obviously so much better routes to go and he still chooses mass murder on a scale that would make Mao blush.

[@nickmagrick7702]

id argue that its not a bad solution considering that people will spend their resources up until the point that the consequences of their actions forces them to do different. Keep in mind that this part of the comic is also a criticism for the real world and the direction we are heading, and the consequence of what we are doing to the planet is that either everyone is going to die, or most are going to die earlier to save the rest and our perpetual future. Either we voluntarily reduce our population, or mother nature will do it for us and we will all starve to death in a post apocalyptic world with many our resources no longer replenishable. Even if he did provide all the energy that humanity would ever need, it doesn't guarantee we would spend it wisely, or that it wouldn't be hoarded by the powerful who wish to create a rift between have and have nots.

@@nickmagrick7702 it is a terrible solution ethically, morally, and logically. The same is true of the Vegas “solution”. It is all based on speculation. The history of mankind is rife with answers being found by way of technology. Even now people fight for renewable resources and have made a lot of head way. You also discount the creation of something truly visionary that would alter the entire situation. The doom and gloom around climate change is all speculation. Nobody knows to what level humankind is affecting the climate. Considering climate change is a passive phenomenon on earth with or without humanity it could well be very little. Killing off a large percentage of the population might kill off an important mind that may have created tech needed to solve the problem too. This is all a bit moot anyways considering they have an insane level of tech in the comic which I’m sure could easily help the situation yet he uses some to create havoc. His solutions are not valid ones. Another good point is raised by Rob himself, which refutes these inane claims. Humanity has a tendency to only learn through natural hardship. They do not learn what you wish them to through force, I.E.. Dinosaurus’ plan. They would merely come down hard on the mastermind and take measures to stop that sort of thing from ever happening. If one was to believe this then the whole plan is merely destruction of life. The most reasonable argument against utilitarian choices like this is the fact that they historically fail on such epic proportions that those who enact them are vilified forever, or made into heroic characters through propaganda like Mao.

[@ZulatobariGreatforge]

@@nickmagrick7702 Keep in mind that killing people doesn't fix it either. When the Black Plague wiped out most of Europe, there was a period of economic boom afterwards. Less people, food became cheaper, services more important, it was for all extensive effects, a GREAT time (for the time period), despite all the death. But you know what else followed it? A MASSIVE population boom. I believe Game Theory actually did a video on this, where they used examples like the black plague to point out that even if Thanos snaps 50% of the population away, the benefits are only temporary and lead to a worst outcome overall.

No one wants to be the one sacrificed, not really. So it either doesn't happen, or you have to force people to sacrifice themselves, and that point? Its terribly wrong morally.

Dinosaurious admitting that it will not help humanity no matter what he does and thragg taking out his frustrations and anger with thaddeus out on Nolan toward the end of this volume was good character growth for both characters.

honestly, i disagree with dinosaurus doing the right thing, in the end, yes, but from what we know, he did not try convincing people by using his intelligence to basically spell it out without having to kill people, if that failed, then yeah dinosaurus arguably is doing the right thing

[@Watch-0w1]

[@Jaleel_HS]

Hey rob its your channel do what you want, but bringing up philosophical commentary and stating it as absolute truths while using terminology such as “we believe” in the video isn’t the smartest idea. I understand you believe that and im not even saying i disagree with your ideals, but you’re broadcasting to a wide array of people that come to you for COMICS coverage and nothing else. Im sure you’re a cool guy. Geek culture explained is also a great channel and i cant wait to start listening to your podcast, but i just dont think many will appreciate the discussion of philosophy from your perspective when they come here to see different types of material. i only mention this because its happened a few times now and id hate to see it reflect poorly on you or your channel when in fact it has nothing to do with the actual content you provide. just a viewer trying to help out. otherwise amazing video as always

Now hold the phone, could Nolan have planned this all out so he’d be the king of the Viltramites? That would be absolutely nuts

[@foxmamer]

I think the author explored that idea but it had so many moving parts that there is no realistic way to say that's what happened

[@kcollier2192]

22:41 When Nolan says that he needs a few days to heal, I imagined that he would be doing a bit of Sexual Healing, as Marvin Gaye once said (bet he still does though). Also, I agree with Eve on proposing to Mark- she knows she wants him so why wait? Hell, start a new way of doing things, why not?

[@alcostello6114]

That’s not starting a new way of doing things, lmao. And that’s not going to become the norm. Women usually want someone to pursue them. Why do you think it’s been men asking women in the first place? Since the beginning it’s been men courting women. We see this with other mammal species. There’s a primal disposition to it. Yeah you’ll get some exceptions here and there, but the norm won’t change. Sorry.

God Dinosaurus is the best character in this series, he kinda reminds me of MCU Thanos but more cooperative and with a better plan, but one who actually realises it’s flaws Also Rob remember dinosaurus’ plan is to wipe out millions to save billions I dont think the intention was to wipe out 80% of humanity

[@danielseelye6005]

3:15 - Word bubble says 80% of humanity wiped out within a century if things didn't change due to drought, climate problems etc. Per Google: 40-50% of humanity lives within 100 km of the oceans.

[@willchalloner6643]

@@LuffyBlack while the 50% plan was flawed it’s better that than making him the worlds biggest simp In the end for his character it wasn’t the plan that was important it was his beliefs that mattered, he genuinely believed he was bettering the universe by doing something horrible, he felt he was doing a necessary sacrifice no one else was willing to, that’s what made him so fascinating in the film In the comics he’s just a big bad evil dude

It's not really reasonable to assume someone will act purely out of logic, other than sociopaths. Emotion is illogical and rash, but that's what makes us human. This is just one of many flaws with utilitarianism.

Emotion is interconnected so hard most people cant decide if something is "truely" moral. Especially when the utilitards make their plan and push it along by themselves.

Rob will never address the fact that every single person who has watched his invincible videos is capable of saying dinosaurs was evil regardless of his intentions. Rob is the only person on this channel without the mental capacity to understand the author made dinosaourus a villan. Yes he’s meant to want to save the world, but he’s written as someone who does it in the stupidest way possible taking 10 steps back with every step forward. Rob needs to see a psychologist and get evaluated. Rob you do not think in a way that a healthy human would. You are inhuman in your reasoning skills. I fear for the people in your life.
