Anders,
Yes, but the consuming, provocative meme of the MoQ is the architecture
of morality and correct application of hierarchical moral codes.
In SOM-land the social level resists any DQ which is rationally against
the current patterns of tradition. As a result the SOM-landers are
incapabable of correct moral judgment when DQ uses a higher level to
impose 'better' changes on that tradition.
In MoQ-land the problem is fixed. The four SQ levels and the five moral
codes tell MoQ-landers which DQ QEs at which levels to adhere/inhere and
which to reject.
Am I wrong, or are we really making progress now?
Mtty Anders,
Doug Renselle.
