What do you think of Nozick's idea of utility monsters? Have there ever been any in existence?

I have no problem with utility monsters. all that matters is the sum.
also neets are utility monsters, since for them one moment of freedom and leisure produces many times over the pleasure one single wagecuck is capable of experiencing in an entire life.

no because pleasure units don't exist and utilitarianism is vague framework that works in conversation but not in real life.

The gold standard for philosophical knowledge is something that is both necessary and universal. If something is necessary, then it couldn't be such that it wasn't so; If something is universal, then it further applies in all circumstances. The capital-g 'Good' is such knowledge. Thus, when interrogating claims in philosophy, you challenge these two characteristics. Due to their very nature, these qualities are not something that can always be falsified by reference to sense experience: knowledge gathered through induction can never be known to be necessary or universal in the strictest sense, only some probability of being so. Luckily however, being that the knowledge must be both true at all times and in all situations, it is enough to create a hypothetical situation where this is not the case. We can therefore interrogate it logically: that is, in demonstrating some internal problem or contradiction with the claim. These are what thought experiments are. In the strongest counter-arguments, the claim is shown to produce a contradiction, and thus must necessarily be not so. In weaker arguments, the claim is demonstrated to produce unforeseen or unpalatable consequence that makes it less desirable to hold. So it doesn't matter if the utility monster ever existed, only that it possibly exists.
