It's comforting to know that normies' lives are as empty as mine.

>tfw spent months reading classics like Flaubert, Melville and Seneca and not played a game in years but suddenly reverted after trying Persona 5

this happened in 2009 with STALKER: CoP, I can't resume reading now until I've finished the game

Isn't Singer's utilitarianism more sound once one will accept accept as well the rule that the distance (geographically, culturally etc) doesn't matter for counting a suffering? In other words, you are supposed to be as concerned about people suffering in remote places as in your local community.
If so, then I always thought that the most of the 1st world suffering is hardly comparable to the one in the Mddle East/Africa. It always seemed to me that this sweeps out the stage of real-life moral dilemmas a lot, and usually donating, idk, AMF is clearly morally superior to other choices.

Someone mentioned a supposed situation of killing a man and a child as a pitfall of utilitarianism. How does other moral systems deal with this situation? If they don't, then it doesn't refute utilitarianism at all (at least if we value having some moral system, even if with pitfalls).

Show me real world examples you have in mind.

Anyone else have problems with discipline? I live in the southern hemisphere (NZ) and this time of year is the worst for me writing wise, really hot weather and it's Christmas holidays. I've written a book and I'm working on another, but my productivity right now is almost non-existent. I wouldn't even call it writer's block, just laziness I guess.

What do you guys do to build discipline when you're feeling too lazy to write?
