I think that there may be a philosophical issue here: not everyone agrees on what ‘good’ is (maybe noöne agrees!): I may derive much joy from Y but you find it derivative and lame; you may love X but I hate it; he may enjoy passing around Russian agitprop memes. I don’t know what the answer is, but I think neither ‘the majority of people in this bubble in San Francisco like this’ nor ‘ the majority of people on earth like this’ is a terribly useful, not to mention correct, criterion.
