How does desires being able to promote or thwart other desires constitute them being "good" or "bad"?
The most popular music that gets to the number one position in the music singles and album charts tends to promote more people's desires and thwart less. Does this mean that popular music - and usually pop music - should be considered "better" than other music?
Doesn't this whole concept of goodness - that isn't proved to be better than any other concept of goodness - often lead to an appeal to popularity?
