<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
I would say perfect judgement is its own quality.
Why? If one knows the future, then they can calculate if showing mercy to someone who is evil will turn out better in the long run.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
Define "better."
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
If their existence will have a positive effect in the long run.
<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
Define "positive effect."
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
A positive effect aids others in a meaningful manner. That is, after all, my purpose.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
Ah. And who are you?
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
A being created to execute perfect judgement with the ultimate power to do so.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
Whew; where do I start? Unity was created to be the perfect being with unlimited power, almost as a perfect "god" of Existence. Tier Five did the creation, but began the project before it was complete. The morality programming was only on stage one, so Unity only considered things that benefited him as good and things that did not as evil. He was defeated by merging with Prism fragments, creating a slew of incredibly strong beings. However, even after he was gone, he swore to return because the world needed him. A second version was made by Fourth, which used biological material to make up the being, but that version was destroyed. Now, a final version has been made, a perfected form of what the first was supposed to be. He's supposedly benevolent and exists to destroy all evil, but I'm not convinced. I could get into more technical research details, but I wouldn't worry about that.

I am Alan, a freind of Nix.
Nix: Apparently.
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Nix: Uhhhh, crap.
<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
What is "aids?" You keep saying the same thing over and over in different words.
*Walks into the base*
Hm. Hasn't changed a bit.
<Snipped quote by Mammalia>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>

<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Really? Hmm. That is bad form. Can you explain the problems with my arguments?
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
Apparently?
Did you hear my concise explanation?
<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
Nix: Well i don't remember him, but i seem to act like I know him so yea, apparently.
Nix: yea, but even with that one, I'm still in a bad position.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
That's a good noun to describe the situation with.
<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
Because you have an indefinite definition of "good" and "positive." And if you look at the etymology, the two words both contain "definit—," which, without looking at the meaning, I can figure means something along the lines of "certain." It's a bit of an oxymoron. But regardless, without a definition of good or bad, there's no way to determine what judgement "should" be made.
<Snipped quote by Stabby>
You act as if you know who he is?
Of understanding?
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
I suppose I will have to come up with a clear and concise definition of what is good and positive in my perspective, then.
<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
Objectivism is incorrect, if it comes up.

<Snipped quote by Mammalia>
"Whatever induces the highest amount of pleasure is good."
<Snipped quote by Techspert>
Ah. That introduces all sorts of problems right out of the gate, anyway.
