orgasms. surprises.

they both have downsides. in fact sometimes a surprise is the downside of an orgasm

Not inherently. They may well lead to a path that one might not enjoy, but of themselves, they are only good.

That would largely depend on who is having the orgasm, no?

depends on how you measure it. you could say that anything "good" has an opportunity cost. you could say that "bad" things would have to be infinitely bad in order to avoid an isolated utility gain for any affected party. or you could just say that any positive sum game does only good in the long run, and any negative sum game does no good in the long run. topic needs to be set in more concrete terms

Nothing is inherently good or bad. You talk of the human psyche, therefore you have your answer. This is an obvious human trait to put equilibrium in the unnatural nature of self. This is also accompanied by the dual natural pleasure and pain experience which is instinctual until you try to rationalise it with your mind/unnatural self.

Fascinating topic.

I really think hemorrhoids are the only thing that really hit the nail on the head so far.

Even terminal diseases - like cancer - sometimes can be good things, as they can put a suffering person out of their misery. Hemorrhoids never kill you, they just make life miserable. I'm sure there are comparable diseases that would probably also qualify.

Everything has good and bad aspects. The good may be negligible but it is still there. Everything has value. We operate in a society based on subject-object metaphysics, in which only the physical or material is empirically verifiable, or "real", but the truth is that subjects are just as real as objects. Value is inherent in all things and actually exists prior to our perception. Ideas are real because they have value. An object is just a certain arrangement or collection of values. A person is a group of values, as is an idea, or a society, or a tree or bird. The world is not made of atoms. It is made of values. An atom is a group of values. The word value seems nonsensical in a scientific context, because science does not acknowledge "good" or "bad" (values), so replace the word "value" with "tendency". You could say a carbon atom tends to bond with other carbon atoms, or that it values a state of bonding over non-bonding. It's different ways of saying the same thing.

scratching an itch. I don't mean that in an metaphorical sense, I mean literally scratching an itch. It could be bad if you scratched it so hard that your skin was damaged, but that just means you're an idiot.

As soon as you talk of value you are talking of something other than morality. Indeed, you use value in a way to describe different aspects of the human psyche. Then you go on to use it to describe the physical in such a way of idealism, you are talking about subjectivity.

When you bring science and mans mechanisations of defining the physical you are talking of mans interpretation of cause and effect, these values you would instigate have no real meaning, they simply are effects until we lend them any resolve. You are not talking about morality, for you cannot define things morally in the absence of humans.
