I've changed a number of views after reading the MOQ. The major one was my
previous view that morality applied only to social relations. Now I see
that morality applies to everything, including and most importantly, my
immediate experience. Other views changed were that science and art are
both pursuing the same goal rather than being miles apart, that so called
critical thinking based on the scientific model has been a disaster in
trying to control society because it has no provision for morals, and that
capitalism is far superior to socialism that so many here support because
capitalism is open to the influence of Dynamic Quality.
Hope this helps.
