We're going over Kant's theory on ethics, and how it compares to utilitarianism. They're supposed to be similar in that they both attempt to describe the key moral principle. This leads to a reminder that some ethical theories say that there IS no key moral principle (but we're not covering those theories). Up pipes our friend:

But there IS a key moral principle! Don't do bad things!

Thank you, Captain Obvious! Clearly, philosophers were just wasting their time trying to define morality. They should've just gone with the "not doing bad things" definition and left it at that. Of course.

That was my point. He's always coming up with things of that type. Very irritating.
