You know, I don't know why I forgot this. I knew I was forgetting why Average Utilitarianism was bad when simple utility is the goal. What do you think of side constraint utilitarianism where another value can be selected in conjunction with utility?

Sure, I like it! Of course, the caveat is that off the top of my head, I can't think of a side constraint that would cover all cases. I've also heard it called two-level utilitarianism, where you make a judgment call over whether total or average utilitarianism is more important on a situation-by-situation basis. My post below about Utilitarianism But pretty much sums up my view.
