The provability of doing wrong, that is to choose a low Quality action;
over doing right, that is to choose a high Quality action is much higher
if He/She doesn't have the knowledge that he/she is choosing action.That
is the reason that education is so important. I has been said over and
over again by many voices throughout history that;
"Education is the great equalizer". It foster social justice. Man is a
Social Animal. He has to learn to live in a group.
The thing becomes complex, because: Who decides what is right or wrong for
a society? Umberto Eco writes on his book [(En que creen los que no
creen?) trans:( What do people who don't believe, believe in?)] that if
one lived in a imaginary Universe where you are the only person there (an
impossible thing, but just imagine it), then there will be not problem.
But, the minute ot the instant that another Human being comes into the
picture, then the thing becomes complex. Then, we need to decide, about
right or wrong. That's when 'ethics' appear. To live in a Society as a
group and use the same planet for a Home, we need to agree in 'what's
wrong and what's right.
Educating someone does not warrants that he/she will do right. But, the
number of people doing the right 'stuff' will be greater than otherwise.
But who and how do we decide?
The Sun is the living driving force that illuminates everything. Without
it, we the observers and the things being observed wouldn't exist.
Subjects and Objects like ships crossing in the night. We could use this
as a metaphor and equate the Sun with Education/knowledge/enlightment. If
a person doesn't know enough, or the less the person knows; the more he
will walk into a world of darkness.

The MoQ tells us that "all things being equal, the moral choice of highest
value is the Dynamic Choice". Look at those key words:
'all things being equal'...
So, the MoQ, tells us, it does give us permission to 'take a low Quality
action' over a 'high Quality' action. And, it give us a set of tests to
take. It tells us to look at the levels, does the static pattern is giving
its permission to be modify? Does it have a Latch factor? Will the total
destruction of the static pattern is necessary? It gives us a flowchart to
follow.
Bueno amigos, (must go)
