@Angela herp, that's what I get for not proofreading. Should say "teleological grounding", not whatever that word I made up.

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).

(Maybe “I’ve done something like that a lot” would be a more accurate statement)

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

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.

@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.)
