I love this poem, especially the line "Learning to love the parts of myself that no one claps for"

Thanks for sharing!

That is a great line, I agree and it is a really fun, insightful poem!

It's not a bad poem, it gets across a lot of the big themes of arguments against utilitarianism/consequentialism (ie, agents have different ends they pursue over the course of their actions) in a fairly beautiful way. The only issue is it lacks timelessness, eg, the references to tech, when this is really a fairly timeless question.
