Thanks for sharing,
at the end of the video at 1:23:50, they mention the case that doing what's more financially rewarding , is moving toward the good.

but I think these generalized abstractions break in the real world. ( addicts would pay a lot to get cocaine, but that does not make producing cocaine a good act ).

Thanks for your thoughts, if you allow i also would respond to that...

Sure this is always the case, the higher the generalized abstraction goes, the more one can interpret it. Thats the point of generalization.
My view on the issue: See any of that discussions as a supermarket, you can buy what you like (or think is "the truth"). And you can leave anything behind, that doesn't resonate with you.
