Wait, isn't morality the "absolute ground zero" in the MOQ? I know it's the
MOQ not the MOM, but doesn't he make the switch over to morality in Lila, or
at least call it the equivilent of Quality?
I would define morality as expectation.
I know people have already said that searching for magic words like
"expectation" or "morality" is beside the point, but I disagree. I think
the best thing to do is trumpet "morality" as loudly as possible, because
the word doesn't get much respect these days. People have a real negative
attitude toward it. But if it is recast as "expectation", maybe morality
can be revived.
