    I’m sorry, no. There are so many problems with Kant’s categorical imperative. It comes from a tradition of trying to impose simplistic rules onto an inherently complex and messy subject. The Categorical Imperative would just cause misery if it were applied universally, which defeats the whole purpose of morality.

    Morality isn’t about rules or dictating what people can’t do. It’s about promoting well-being.
