  It is exactly so that everyone does not know what “better” and “improvement” means. Someone who is of a more libertarian persuasion because they got lucky with Bitcoin might see talk about improvements and betterment that entails it being impossible to own a private recreational nuke as being inconsistent. Betterment in your case can mean that a small business owner has his property forcibly converted into communally operated MoP. Those that enforce change in their interest might see their concept of humanity warped beyond recognition in a most certainly traumatic process of historical necessity. It’s kind of like saying the immune system is a good thing, for the viruses it’s not and autoimmune reactions are a huge complication to the lives of organisms with immune systems.

  With good and bad any further explication stops. Something is good. Okay. Why is it good? Because it is good. It nearly always plays out circularly like this, except if there is a scientific process of criticism that spawns from this line of questioning. The latter almost never occurs. All of morality, and much of ethics is circular.

    Ensuring that everyone has access to food, water, healthcare, education and shelter is objectively good. Do you disagree?

      I reject the notion of objective goods as that is a contradiction in adjectives and neither is it in my specific interests that everyone has food, water, healthcare, education and shelter.

        Thanks for your honest response. I think your values are sociopathic, but luckily, I also think you are a rare exception among our species.

        Thanks for the chat, I don’t see how there’s anything productive that can come from discussing this further, so I hope you have a great day and I wish you a lot of love and solidarity. All the best.

      @OriginEnergySux@lemmy.world - What do you think, buddy? Do you disagree with this too?

        I think it’s objectively efficient, but not objectively “good”
