A1: Either a property or its negation is positive, but not both.
Gödel claims there is no morally grey zone. Instead everything is black and white.
A2: A property necessarily implied by a positive property is positive.
Counter-point: The dose makes the poison.
D1: A God-like being possesses all positive properties.

A5: Necessary existence is a positive property.
Meh, I think it's better for some things to not exist. (Like friggin' sharks with friggin' lasers on their heads.)
