Sooner or later, we'll have to come to terms with the fact that good and bad are not some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, but the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. The 1/0 of sentience.
There is no more an ideal good, than there is an ideal yes.
When good is seen as aspirational, rather than elemental, all the higher order emotions, thoughts, nuance, subjectivity, etc. are suspect, because they are not black and white.
