The fool looked around the throne room and found King Gruneberry the Good (906-967). ‘Was he?’ he said, pointing. ‘Who knows now?’ What was he good at? But he will be Gruneberry the Good until the end of the world.’
The word “good” has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Ever heard of “Nicolas Bourbaki”? It’s a group of mathematicians, who try to clear up mathematical definitions and theories to make them general, streamlined and free of internal contradictions. As much as possible. Their definition of “1” is over 200 signs long in shorthand and would fully expand to 2×10?? signs.

Well, evil Is certainly more fun…
Lot of people seem to have issues with differentiating between good as morally good and good as clever or effective.

One of those things that you know when it’s there, but to describe it is problematic…
I always suspected that was her motivation.
