RE: There Can Be No Good
I'll cease this harmful posting after a couple more thoughts ;) I think theft and privacy violations are harmful because of the psychological pain and agree they cause a disturbance from the rest state.
However, don't pleasurable and neutral things also disturb the rest state? Perhaps we could lable them as harmful, but that doesn’t mesh with an intuitive definitive of harm.
This is a big topic, I may have to follow up with a post in the near future.
Pleasure is a different thing. Since it can be both bad (too much cake) and good, it is not intrinsically good in and of itself. If good exists, we will have to find it elsewhere.
