@ContentOfMedia 'Merit' is a synonym of 'Good'. A argues that when we attempt to measure 'Goodness' we are either imprecise or selfish.1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

@ContentOfMedia Need to accept that we orientate around our preferences. Discuss what is 'Good', 'How We Measure Things', 'Consequences'.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -
