Mary,
My condolences upon hearing the news about Ken. Nobody could make me laugh on
this forum more than Ken's wry replies to Fintan. And nobody could show more
compassion for humanity and family than your dad. One of my last exchanges
with him was about you, Mary.

KEN WROTE:
>>>I just think of how interesting and exciting it would be
if the entire population of the Earth were aware of our situation with
regard to the universe and we could all devote ourselves to compatibility
with the Earth. Interesting. I agree that the universe and Earth are both
moral places, of course that morality is universal morality and many times
may not look too good to humanity. One of the arguments that I used to make
was that universal morality and human morality are two different things.
They are still two different things.
Mary and I share many of the same ideas. We grew up together. She taught
me most of what I know.
I have blundered around all over the place. Better quit. >>>
I RESPONDED:
>>>Yea, my life has its share of blunders too. But that's why we won't
quit....no?
But I would not be surprised if nature throws us a few fast balls of her own.
The advancement of Quality seems to correlate with not just an advance in
complexity, but of organization as well. As long as you are right about two
moralities then we will be competing and hurting each other (man and nature).
When we merge into a common morality (whatever the hell that means) things
will make the next evolutionary leap forward to higher quality.
I don't believe much in the "purpose of the universe" stuff, but if I notice
one consistent pattern, it is an advance in organization, complexity and
universal morality.
But again, there will be set-backs on the way.
Roger
PS -- If you ever doubt the increase in value....just think of Mary.>>>

Mary, my father-in-law just died last night too, and my wife is in the other
room with the lights out, staring at the night sky and thinking about the
universe. I think Ken would approve, and even suggest I go join her.....
Let's all take a moment to look to the universal morality that Ken never
waivered on......
