HN Discussion:
  • Song is art with a fictional narrator, so moral analysis of Bieber himself is misplaced
  • Applying academic philosophy to a simple pop song is absurdly overwrought
  • ~Playfully extends the philosophical analysis with other frameworks like Hegelian or utilitarian views
  • ~Article should have explained the categorical imperative more rigorously before invoking it
  • Enjoyed the piece despite it being AI-generated and somewhat repetitive
