So "good" depends on what humans agree on, rather than an external objective truth(let us set aside the question of what that truth is for now)?

In a world where it was universally agreed on that sexism is good, is sexism suddenly good?
There's nothing that says that a fake can't beat the real thing.

You must not imagine that for beings like you and us there can be laughter. The low men laugh, and we envy them. But for us, the higher ones, there is no laughter, only an unending vigil, purely serious, stretching on into the night.

Yah. Though other life forms can have good or bad. But people tend to focus on humans.
I see! That is an interesting point of view. I do enjoy learning about what thoughts others have. Is it purely morality that is subjective, or are physical laws subjective also?

What if more than 60% of the people in a democracy believes in a law that would cause great hurt to the other 40%?

Do you think that anti-leaving law harms people physically and mentally? If so, hasn't democracy failed in its job of doing the least harm?

I wonder if Cooldog would get banned if he stabbed Anna to death.

I guess he would if the mod team found out about it.

Why would someone abuse power? What cosmic law makes it so?

Actually people are generally good.

What if everyone was re-educated not to be greedy?
