E day

its E day
go out and vote instead of reading this blog
watch out, dont eat your ballot, its illegal
and what else
i think its silly to say that because one stands to benefit from helping others in a good feeling way, it is not virtuous (KANT). because then implicitly he has equated feeling good with what qualifies actions as not virtuous.
the problem apparently is ego, and its relation to happiness. but our natural end is happiness.
he's just trying to spare us from equating that which makes us happy with what is moral. whats he trying to do here anyways, is this him acknowledging that what makes us happy is intangible and changing? that it is easily directed? is he trying to save us from the reality that what makes us happy is so widespread that even derranged acts produce happiness at times? this all feels like more bad news.
