my point is against turning applause lights for utilitarianism
yet the OP states
And that’s where I think we are with utilitarianism. It’s very good. It’s more or less reliably better than anything else.
This seems like a normative statement that only makes sense once you have a preference for utilitarianism.
I think this was mainly addressed to people who think it’s the end of every question on the subject. In that context, it’s toning down.
Also, “I approve of X” cannot be an attempt to shroud X in a positive halo by surrounding it by applause lights.
