Here we make an argument that 'good' and 'bad' are stagnant terms for evaluating emergent phenomena in an ever-changing world, and that as terms of judgment they refer back to a static and traditionally conservative worldview, where 'good' and 'evil' are eternal presences in the cosmos and the world is a battleground between them in which humans too take part. There's certainly a case to be made for the coherent order this provides the individual desperate for a way of making sense of what is otherwise the chaos of existence, but in this episode I introduce the possibility of supplanting ethical theory with an aesthetic one that is more appropriate and accommodating of the modern world and our experience of it.
