But evil is worse than bad.                       B

The opposite of bad is evil.


Fanaticism is bad.

So good and bad are better     G-B
than good and evil              >

There are gradations,

So better or worse is                       >
better than good or bad.                   G-B




We must go beyond good and evil.
It is better if we do so.



A uniaxial good/evil is too simple.
It's better to consider multiple qualities.

   Which model is better?

   Which model is best for
   evaluating which is
   better?


      To evaluate methods
      of evaluations, one
      could -- 

             Assume a given standard of
             meta-evaluation

             Use an existing standard
             to choose a new standard.              (Which would be
                                                     an apriori meta-
             Try all candidates in                   evaluation.)
             terms of all other
             candidates, and see if       If not, one
             there's a unanimous          could take a
             decision.                    majority vote.



            
   I wonder      
   which                                   GOOD
   method                               
   is best?
