Good People and Bad People
http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/good.html
This link provides a list of famous bad people and a list of famous good people, and has a lot of good discussion around the issues of creating such a list. I wonder if we are really applying any deep sense of morality when we talk about bad/good people or if we simply have learned by rote "Hitler bad, Gandhi good". It particularly is the case with self-evaluations where when we say we are bad, it often is simply because others have repeatedly told us that in the past. Is your sense of morality well developed, or do you sort the bad from the good automatically from rote learning? Maybe it really isn't an issue, anyways: as long as we can tell the difference between bad and good, does it matter how we arrive at that discrimination?
