getting eliminated proves a narrow case like "not good at surviving a nuclear winter caused by a meteor strike"
-
...but a general "state of goodness" or "inherent goodness" sort-of thing can't really be determined solely based on survival or propagation

Of course, it doesn't even make sense for something that doesn't exist to define what good is. We're here, so we define it. Not existing...
-
would not allow us to make any statements about what's good or not

I'll tell ya what's "not good" though ... the fact I didn't really study hard in Philosophy 101 20 years ago... is "not good" right now...
