Good and bad are not value judgments; they are experiences

@Razzleg,
Its funny cause total relativists should be fine with Mozart statement.
It just so happens that frequent patterns correlating behaviour with good/functional outcomes disprove it.
Also there is a distinction between feeling good and being Good.
As for the value judgments, they spring NATURALLY in social context from the acknowledge pattern reliability.

The best, most tangible definition of good I know off comes from engineering. If it is functional then it is good. One last note I don't think functionality is subjective. If you have no Universal pattern you haven't proved functionality.

@Fil Albuquerque,
This is not to say that functional points to a flat place. People are slightly different and just like different engines need different work, different people with different genetics and cultural frames of reference need differentiated fine tuning on how you make them functional, productive and happy. The general principles are the same the fine tuning may differ. On the other hand what they don't need is arbitrary treatment argued from ultra-relativistic bulshit.

@MozartLink,

This is because there is the difference between applying labels and paying very close attention to what the experience actually is. I will give an example. If you experienced physical pain and you said that this pain was a telephone, then that would be nothing more than a word you would be applying to that pain.


wat?
