Fear of happiness
Some major cultures and some individuals mistrust happiness (see article for reasons)-- if happiness is not a major value, how does this affect ethics/utilitarianism?
That people do not value as the sole terminal goal is obvious by the high number of people unwilling to wirebrain themselves, that is to place their brain into a mechanical and chemical device that provides with the maximum pleasure biochemistry allows.
As members of this site like to forget: Homo Sapiens is not a rational species but a product of evolution and thus only a program that runs its course.
