@SamHarrisOrg@Ameriman1984@Intrinsic29 Also keep in mind this is only a worry about the semantics of 'good', not about our actual values. -

@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg@Intrinsic29 I think there are confusions here, but reasonable and important ones. I'll respond in a blog post. -
@robbensinger@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg I'm looking forward to it. Sorry my question turned into such an ordeal. -
@Intrinsic29@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg An ordeal? I've already learned a lot via this discussion. Thanks for starting it! -
@robbensinger@Ameriman1984@SamHarrisOrg No problem. I've actually enjoyed it as well. Thanks for being so civil.
