social good

anything of value that a society has, whether it produced the thing or not, and whether the thing is traded commercially or not.

For example the USA has natural gas (which it did not produce), air (which it did not produce), computers (which it did produce) and personal freedom (which it did produce). Air and personal freedom are not tradeable goods; it's not possible to establish ownership rights for air or freedom.

Philosophers believe that the proper distribution of social goods is still an open question, even if the distribution of economic goods (like computers) is not.

An inequality in the basic structure must always be justified to those in the disadvantaged position. This holds whatever the primary social good and especially for liberty.

Social Nerd

An admitted nerd by any standards who maintains a public lifestyle despite preferring nerd-like activities.

John just picked up his comic subscriptions with his gorgeous girlfriend and is heading to the nightclub downtown. What an incredibly social nerd.

SJW (Social Justice Warrior)

A derogatory term used to define an obnoxious person (usually associated with the radical left) that pushes their ideology /opnions and/or beliefs and/or lashes out at fellow human beings in an aggressive and controlling manner concerning almost anything that they personally don't agree with usually validating their emotions by them simply being present above rationality not taking into account another persons humanity commonly disregarding a fellow person as a valid human being simply by their expressed viewpoints. A scientifically defined and paradoxically occuring phenomenon in the mindset of people acting like "SJW" is the core idea that they have a valid opinion about certain changes in society that must be followed even tough not using the ability to change themselves coming forth out of selfishness, arrogance, spite for the succesfull and a bad mental hygiene. All in all a crusade type of mentallity that tends to show that they fight for what they think are the dispossessed while not fully realising their own disposition, pretending to be a dispossessed or labeling everyone that doesn't agree with their viewpoints as a (right wing) biggot and/or opressor to justify their own right in doing so. Eventough the term is linked to the radical left it is does not exclude the existence of "SJW" on the radical right thereby it seems the labelling of someone as an "SJW" comes forth more out of a radical interaction with fellow people rather than a political ideology.

-A:"How could you not have voted for Trump? You are the reason why America is going to shit!"
-B:"This person is a typical example of a Radical Right wing "SJW (social Justice Warrior)"."

-A: "Joe Rogan expressed some viewpoints that i don't agree with in a certain soundbit of one of his episodes, what a biggot, he should be cancelled in full!"
-B:"Typical example of a radical left wing "SJW (Social Justice Warrior)"."
