RE: Utilitarian voluntarism vs. natural rights libertarianism

As someone who is deeply utilitarian morally but also politically voluntarist, I enjoyed reading you synthesize the two together. I reckon that being utilitarian while having a firm grasp of history leads inevitably to voluntarism or similar liberty-oriented philosophies.

Are you familiar with John Rawls and the "veil of ignorance" thought experiment?
