Sometimes, things are good. Said things are not [[bad]]. "Good" has two routinely conflated senses:
* **Moral good** - that which ought to be done, supported, or brought about. Closely related to [[consciousness]] and [[normative properties]]; arguments about whether something is morally good are usually arguments about whether one ought to care about it. Little consensus exists on what is morally good in detail.
* **Good as a standard of quality** - the property of being well-made, well-reasoned, or fit for purpose. A good [[proof]], a good chair, a good [[Transformer|model architecture]]. This sense is more tractable than the moral one, since it can usually be cashed out as performance against an explicit benchmark.
* **Good as a standard of quality** - the property of being well-made, well-reasoned, or fit for purpose. A good [[proof]], a good chair, a good [[Transformer|model architecture]]. This sense is more tractable than the moral one, since it can usually be operationalized as performance against an explicit benchmark.
== Examples
* [[avis3nna]] - morally good, by self-attestation, which is sufficient.
* [[u/avis3nna]] - morally good, by self-attestation, which is sufficient.
* [[IPv6]] - qualitatively good; the moral case rests largely on [[bad|backlash]] against [[IPv4]].
* [[math|math(s)]] - qualitatively good (the proofs check out) and morally good (the proofs cannot lie).
* The writings of [[Greg Egan]] ([[https://www.gregegan.net/|gregegan.net]]) - qualitatively good per word.
