0G24: Minority Report and Prescient Utilitarianism


Listen Later

This episode will serve as our majority report on the movie Minority Report. We cover the movie's relationship to Utilitarianism and the common objection that we can't predict the future. Next week we will present our minority report on the short story Minority Report, where we'll cover how the story addresses prescience and determinism. The major difference is that this episodes content is beefed up with about 40 minutes of Tom Cruise running.

Paper on the epistemic objection to Utilitarianism: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=9C31837321834C184C99CC72FD34B700?doi=10.1.1.357.2120&rep=rep1&type=pdf
