Hitting utilitarianism, deontology and existentialism with a pickleball racquet.

Poem about the ethics of pickleball taking over the other ballcourts. I think it pairs well with a quick google search that summarizes John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism, Immanuel Kant’s Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals (explaining deontology) and Jean-Paul Sartre’s Existentialism is a Humanism. For the philosophically brave, feel free to read the full texts. I’ve only gotten through Mill. He is more accessible than the others. For the most watered down consideration of these concepts applied to a modern problem, enjoy my poem Dibs.

I have explored similar topics about pickleball before in my Transient Visitors very tiny tale “Pop Click Pop“. I think that is a fun adult bedtime story.
