Friends and neighbours:

  Taking Bruce's cue, and Diana's summary, I'll try this time not for 
definition of principles, but delineation of principle conceptual areas 
needing our further study.  It could be beneficial for us to divide our 
critiques of the moq into discussions clarifying the main points 
somewhat separately.

a) Necessary reevalutation of today's metaphysical and ethical 
   assumptions, problems, conflicts.
     -what is value?  "just" what you like?
     -relative and absolute "truth" and "value"
     -various platypi created by our inherited SOM   
     -here I see the biggest difficulty presented by Mary's problem -       
convincing others of the inadequacy of so many "unconscious" or       
unstated views we have.  (SOM) Most people are not dynamically        
open to being told that their intellectual coordinates are not        
the "best" available to them.  Why bother with a "meta.. what?"       
anyways?  I was perfectly happy eating fast food living               
vicariously through my television until you came along!

b) Reality = Quality = Morality 
     -ultimately undefinable yet immediately knowable and undeniable
     -and I think words can certainly draw a picture from which the 
      viewer may infer the underlying essential meaning.    
 
c) Manifested & Experienced as Static and Dynamic
      -give approximate definitions - illustrate underlying meaning
      -collect clear examples 

d) Static Levels - boundaries need to be drawn
                 - collect clear examples
 
e) Evolution:
     i - dependent coexistence
     ii - static moral conflict and dynamic resolution
     iii - ethical guidelines for intellectual movement (?)

f) Empiricism and Epistemology
    -"pre-intellectual cutting edge of reality"
    -quality creates subjective awareness of objects (and subjects)
    -Hume, Kant, Hindus, Mystics, etc...

hi -ho, hi-ho, back to work I go...
