Nov 4, 2022 at 23:46 comment added user63148 I'd be good, and you'd be good. What is "it"? I think you've confused language if you are asking whether good things are good, absolutism aside (not gonna pretend I fully understood Russell "is there an absolute good", but it is readily available on-line... I'm guessing, post hoc, he's saying that good things can conflict)

Jun 27, 2014 at 6:32 comment added firtydank @Niel I don't know if Sutton's aim is to justify such a strong premise (his book is not about philosophy or deeper truths), but it's an interesting psychological observation none the less.

Jun 26, 2014 at 23:30 comment added Niel de Beaudrap @firtydank: isn't that like saying that it's a good thing that some people act like jerks, because otherwise some people might act like jerks? If the premise is that perfect social harmony is unstable, one should just say so.

Jun 26, 2014 at 14:19 comment added firtydank This is not a philosophical answer but in "The No Asshole Rule" Sutton writes about research that shows that having a "token asshole" around actually makes everybody else behave better. We seem to be better behaved if we have a role-model of bad behaviour - i.e. whatever you do, don't do what (that asshole) would.
