I agree that any particular objective goal could have answers, in principle. And of course I agree that the further away we get from suck-ville (it's shorter Tongue ) the better.

I just don't agree that it's possible to say which goal(s) are "the best ones" out of all possible good goals. His landscape description seems way too simple, unless it's a hazy metaphor. However; if we fix the goal first(s), and then assess our options, we could in theory draw a landscape of some kind.

Do you think the latter is what he is suggesting? If so, I need to contact agent 47 urgently to call something off.
Feel free to send me a private message.
