Quote by Robert James Bidinotto, essay: T
The hard-core intentionalist expresses only the most remote concern for consequences - usually, some vague, distant utopia. But this is, in most cases, a rationalization. His real satisfaction comes from a sense of doing the right thing - even when right has, in his mind, no clear connection with reality.http://www.libertyhaven.com/theoreticalorphilosophicalissues/ethics/moralityofgood.html
Summary
This quote describes the mindset of a hard-core intentionalist, someone whose actions are driven solely by the belief in doing what is morally right, with little consideration for the consequences. Despite acknowledging that these individuals may envision a distant utopia, it suggests that their true satisfaction lies in the conviction of doing what they perceive as right, even if it seems disconnected from the realities of the world. Ultimately, their sense of righteousness and adherence to their principles take precedence over practical outcomes or effects.
