This works equally well as an argument against utilitarianism, which I'm guessing may be your intent.
Huh? How so?
Replace the "corn god" in the quote with a sufficiently rational utiliterian agent.
To make sure I understand, do you mean that a sufficiently rational utilitarian agent may decide to kill a 6 month old baby if it decides that would serve its goal of maximizing aggregate utility, and if I'm pretty sure that no 6 month old baby should ever be intentionally killed, I would conclude that utilitarianism is probably wrong?
