Dear Opponents, I would like to know what you think.
https://www.researchgate.net/project/Prediction-of-goodness
Human behaviour is often predictable, as network analysis of social media has shown: http://www.pnas.org/content/110/15/5802.short Whether goodness is predictable is a highly philosophical question. It may be hard to judge, since goodness may be a subjective term that also may differ based on your ethical reference frame. Often you need to take decisions that are good to some and bad to others, and are you then good?
Thank you.
As for subjectivity and reference frame, I believe the problem is solved when the subjectivity and the reference frame is related to the same person, isn't it?
As for the "good for", I do not think we need one final universal good or bad. We should be fine with many "good or bad for a particular social group" and take it as a description of goodness. Is it enough?
