We are done.
All the best.

We're done because I made your comments look foolish. To quote your "modes of philosophical thought"....
"Consequentialism is the view that morality is all about producing the right kinds of overall consequences.
Here the phrase “overall consequences” of an action means everything the action brings about, including the action itself." - This is just pin-headed babble.
And this tidbit; it just doesn't make any sense.
"Right takes priority over Good. For example, if someone proposed to kill everyone currently
living on land that could not support agriculture in order
to bring about a world without starvation, a Deontologist would argue that this world without starvation was a bad state of affairs because of the way in which it was brought about."
