re: #800 Martryr Cookie Monster

I don’t get this argument.

We can agree WWII was a terrible thing, even though almost no one currently alive would be alive if WWII hadn’t happened. This is because we’re thinking of it in terms of its effect on humanity, not on individual humans, or ourselves.

He sees it as good, you don’t, you’re both right. Basically, you can agree to disagree on what is good and what is not.

Because I think if you consider mere existence to be ‘good’, then you’d need an entirely different term to describe things that improve that existence.
