I am not a utilitarian.

Virtue ethics handles scenarios of type 1 (plausible scenarios that are realistically complex) extremely well.

I agree with this similar statement: communities of people committed to being virtuous have good outcomes (as evaluated by Sewing-Machine). I do not agree with this similar statement: communities of people committed to being virtuous are less confused about morality than I am.
