Justice-what's the right thing to do

wonderful lecture..

"utilitarianism..Jeremy Bentham....moral and political policy.. cost-benefit analysis..
what dollar figure should be put on human's life?...to maximize utility?..violating the concern of the minority?..for the greater good?... Thorndike...anything can be captured by sorts of measurement by numbers?....how to measure pleasure?...categorical moral duty...can all value to be translated to one single measurement..."

and this topic...this area...is disturbing. i won't agree this type of topic should be ....educated or openly discussed..if this is the philosophy world i grew up, i will be mad...actually....my mind is exploding..

and i agree with Taoism.. ignore the intelligence in arise, let the concept stays vague, leave the people un-enlightened..
