The Greatest Happiness Possible
A comic by Corey Mohler about the inevitable anguish of living a brief life in an absurd world.
Side note: The philosophers in this episode are Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). They were two of the leading figures in the school of ethical thought called Utilitarianism, which says that we should act so as to maximize the overall happiness. We don’t know the name of the dog.
