For me it's Goodness. And I believe God is Good, and evil is anti-God.Plus, if the "truth" is that there is no God, this lack of God means a lack of Goodness as well as a lack of evil.Which is better, "truth" or "goodness"? Goodness is gooder. By definition.Of course, not the "false goodness" which is so often proffered by those seeking self- benefit from those seeking ... truth, or goodness.And all who believe in God believe that their belief is True.

Find comparative advantages, if you're driven to do so.

a) There's a ton of them that don't involve being very intelligent, and instead involve finding one nifty hack or niche and exploiting that.

b) It's not zero-sum, it is possible for a large number of people to switch jobs, do new research, find more fulfilling pastimes and so on - such that everyone is more productive or satisified than they are today.
