Life may not be intrinsically good but goodness seems to at least depend on it in the same way that a canvas may not be beautiful but beauty depends on it.
(and BTW, Torture vs Dust Specks had nothing directly related to death)
No, it didn’t. It feels related to me in that I can’t scan 155,000 deaths in the same way I can’t scan 3^^^3 people. (As directly demonstrated by me feeling that the numbers are in any way alike, good grief.)

This. Life may not be intrinsically good, but it’s pretty darn instrumental.
Although I’ve seen a lot of beautiful things that don’t involve canvas… so the metaphor has its limits.
