[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 76299002, member: 342064"] But the question is what do you mean by good, as "Good"is not really grounded in anything apart from preferences. So if someone has the preference for living the high life then it would be good to make lots of money and have lots of stuff that makes you happy. As we have seen that can cause misery for others because there is not enough money and stuff to go around and not everyone is dealt the same cards in life or operates on a level playing field. Or someone may have apreference for actually getting high and will do whatevery to get high including harming others. Even if they believe that they are not harming others a case can be made for their behaviour influencing others negatively or supporting harmful consequences. Then theres the extreme example of a person having a preference for sexyally abusing others. There are lots of examples in how preferences for something don't equate to the type of good most people regard morality is. So it doesnt follow. [/QUOTE]
