Greetings,

BO:
"But PLATT's latest input poses a
new riddle: the MOQ is based upon the axiom that there is nothing BUT
value which necessitates the opposite: low value, so to say that evil
is relative is plainly wrong."

ROGER:
"If you follow Platt, Struan and my thot processes through this thread, I
think you will see I have similar perspectives on the necessities of dualism
within the intellectual level. But why does it follow that "evil is relative
is plainly wrong"?

Am I missing something?"

The opposite of value is obviously NO value and certainly not LOW value as Bo claims. Bo has
unthinkingly conceded the position completely, unless he can claim that a little bit of white is the
opposite of white, but of course he can't. I think this answers Rogers subsequent query about
missing something. What you are missing Roger is that Bo 'intuits' that my motives here are suspect
and so feels compelled to refute anything I say on principle, regardless of its veracity. It isn't
lack of thought, its just that he 'smells' danger here and can't quite pin it down - now where have
I heard that before?
