@Oliver_S_Curry how do you think the issue of distributive norms - whether utilitarian efficiency or deontological inequity aversion - gets solved at a purely empirical level, as in our neural study showing large individual differences? https://t.co/pZTAYELlZH

@enzoreds @HarryBrighouse1 @philunderground @amurali284 agree on that - we did some exp work showing sense of fairness is rooted more in affective systems. Was thinking more of the sort of Marxist critiques Cohen mounts re egoism, incentivization & that Rawls was the more plausible position (https://t.co/VZ6iRA8gTH

@Oliver_S_Curry Few people actually are utilitarian - here's one of our brain imaging studies showing people also care about the 'right' or equity and will trade off the good (efficiency) - inequity aversion rooted in affective processing: https://t.co/VZ6iRA8gTH

Abstract Synopsis
- The study explores how the brain processes different aspects of distributive justice, focusing on the balance between fairness (equity) and efficiency, using brain imaging techniques.
- It finds that specific brain regions, like the putamen, respond to efficiency, while others like the insula and caudate-septal areas are linked to perceptions of inequality and overall fairness judgments, which are influenced by emotional responses.
- These findings suggest that feelings of fairness are deeply connected to emotional processing, supporting ideas that morality in distribution involves emotional intuition rather than purely utilitarian calculations.]
