Lu Zhe turned on the range hood, making sure the noise from the machine could drown out his voice, and then said in a low voice, "I've just figured it out. Instead of being so absolutist, it's better to be a little more utilitarian."
Shen Leyou's undergraduate major was also philosophy, so he didn't need much explanation and immediately understood: "You mean morality?"
Lu Zhe: "Yes."
Shen Leyou murmured, "Absolutism is about following an unchanging law and adhering to correct behavior..."
Lu Zhe: "Utilitarian morality, like Bentham's theory, suggests that good and evil are not immutable. Rather than rigidly adhering to a rule, it's better to be flexible. As long as everyone is happy, that's the right thing to do."
Shen Leyou was shocked: "You're really going to start a harem?!"
"Shh, keep your voice down..." Lu Zhe sighed, "I haven't figured it out yet. I'm just saying I don't want to keep obsessing over it."
Shen Leyou: "Yes, choosing only one girl is being stubborn, but building a harem is suicide, you know that?"
Lu Zhe pondered for a moment and said, "Of course I know how difficult this is. This is not ancient times, and they are all very strong-willed... So I'm also thinking about how to satisfy everyone."
Shen Leyou: "I don't know if they are satisfied or not, but I do know that bigamy is illegal."
Lu Zhe: "Nonsense, who doesn't know that? But I can choose not to get married, and I can stay with them forever until the day they lose interest in me. Until then, I don't want to hurt any of them."
Silence fell on both ends of the phone call.
After a long while, Shen Leyou suddenly sighed and said, "Forget it. Given our relationship, as long as you don't do anything that is morally reprehensible and outrageous, Lao Luo and I can support you. But it's no use who supports you in this matter. I can only say, you'd better take care of yourself."
Lu Zhe laughed and said, "Haha, thank you."
