I would have chosen Conflux's answer. Poor Conflux!
@EnopoletusHarding I might’ve been biased a little (i think sometimes we decide things are good when they aren’t actually). But I think ‘twas self referential in a way that it didn’t seem definite enough as a claim. (Whereas “dogs are good” is a claim.)
+10 for most specific/definitional /meaningful answer
+2. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
I don’t think this is right, or it needs to be developed into a better answer. (Hard to tell if the meaning is “good is arbitrary/just a label” or “societies develop their concept of what’s ___” ) +0
Little do you know—I’m of the prohibition party. I kid. Hmm. More subjective and less universal, so I’ll give it a +.5
+3 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food…. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
sadly I only know ocaml, ☕️ and 🐍. Seems like it has a track record of being ‘most loved programming language’ on the stackoverflow. might eat my words if rust is responsible for any ai apocalypse +.5
ah, my childhood vehicle. +.5
Begrudging +2
@Conflux This is a step towards an answer, but not the answer.
@Undox No theyre bad.
(Maybe “I’ve done something like that a lot” would be a more accurate statement)
I’ve done that a lot 😅. I think the last time was when I heard of the word “Tetragrammaton” once and then went around talking to friends referring to something called a “tetragrammon”(not a thing).
@Angela herp, that's what I get for not proofreading. Should say "teleological grounding", not whatever that word I made up.
theological or teleological?
