What is wrong and what will probably never change is that mere ideas are sold as 'laws' which are taken seriously to a dangerous degree by some individuals here. This place is basically breeding the first group of rationalists committed to do everything in the name of expected utility.

That is not obviously wrong. That's just down to the model of a rational agent which is widely accepted around here. If you have objections in this area, I think they need references - or some more spelling out.
