I don't view utilitarian ethics as objective. Like all ethics, utilitarianism is marred by relativism and of course valuing and tracking real world events isn't easy. Anyway I think this rut should end. Are you able to directly make your argument or do you need "people in the field" to do so?

Produce the finding that say he's wrong and that the marginal spend to BBC is better
When I said ethics I knew that utilitarianism was one example and you are over-explaining this. I said "ethics" b/c there are many valid frameworks for evaluating how your own tax dollars are spent

Sorry if I'm misreading you as pompous and came back too strongly, but the basic point is that you cannot actually call an expert and have them answer subjective questions about individual values and utilitarian ethics. You can ask them for empirical data sure, but you're not saying this.

You have a child-like understanding of ethics. Utilitarian ethics is about what interventions matter, are effective, and to what scale. Your response to me is that Matt should call an expert so they can say "good things are good". Your appeal to authority is wholly unconvincing.

regarding what is clearly a questions of ethics, you believe Matt can just call up someone in the field and have them answer how to correctly value different interventions

btw getting ahead of this- of course there are other people involved in the decision for that child, but that isn't your argument. You're just saying sometimes regret happens and that's part of life ignoring the whole child part of this which is at issue!

~8–12 year olds don't typically aren't deciding to move their family, go to college, or have kids. But you're saying here they may decide to transition, may make permanent changes, and they may later have regret, just like people might regret these other decisions. Very weak argument actually.

You're replying to a joke with a worse version of it, which is extremely shameful and immoral. Think deeply on this
