Haimesian Critique of Utilitarianism: The Tyranny of Endless Good Author: Michael Richard Haimes Attack: Utilitarianism demands "the greatest good for the greatest number." In practice, that means you're never done. Rest becomes guilt. Self-care becomes moral failure. Result: A society of burned-out moral accountants. Haimesian Resolution: Good must be sustainable. The moral actor must survive and remain capable of doing good. Ethics is iterative alignment, not infinite self-erasure. Maxim: To do the most good, you must remain able to do good.
