You (neo) are into the cosmic morality paradigm and I am into a utilitarian paradigm. Point to me.

Of course considering these "cosmic" moral issues can have a utilitarian benefit. People accept the situation more when they see that "justice has been done." If society is seen as basically just I think people will have more internal psycholgical incentive to not act in criminal and other non beneficial ways. If however people see society as unjust then I think they are more likely to just get whatever then can out of it for their own benefit and get away with what they think they can get away with rather then respecting others and acting in a way consistant with concern for the society.

But then that doesn't really invalidate your point it could just be considered a third paradigm taking parts of each of the others.
