"good" is a subjective term by definition. What you mean by "objectively good at something" can at best mean "many people think the person is good at something"

"good" is a subjective term by definition. What you mean by "objectively good at something" can at best mean "many people think the person is good at something".
What's considered "good" also changes over time. "Earth is flat" was a "good" theory until people found out other possibilities, and so on.
- hoopleheaded 6y agoIt is only subjective in certain context. The arts are inherently subjective I think. On the other hand I struggle to find an argument where one can't define Olympic gold medalists as objectively "good" in in their respective pursuits. Or at the very least those medalists who are quantifiably greater than the competition by time or other metrics. Diving, gymnastics, figure skating etc. are in some respects subjective arts.
