To do Good is to act in any way that is not ‘contrary to the structure of being’, which is Evil. Good and Evil are a binary moral property of intentional action. Things and states are neither good nor evil in the moral sense; when we call a thing ‘good’, we mean that it is valuable in the utilitarian sense, which is a matter of degree, not that it is the binary opposite of Evil. The idea of Greater Good conflates the utilitarian sense of Good with the moral sense, in order to falsely justify Evil as a necessary condition of the Good. Do not be deceived. #sticker
