SA: I find this kin to how biological values are
quality, social is quality, etc... I find the levels
of the moq also a further way to help clear up any
confusions that may happen. For biology is quality,
but social is of a higher moral value, intellectual
higher still, and dynamic quality of the highest.
This level system seems to add static latches to
prevent any slippery slope that you mentioned. Static
quality seems to be where the west contributes to the
understanding of quality. I'm sure static quality
exists in the east, but here's an example. The sixth
patriarch of Chan in China, Huineng, during his time
he was advocating against a quietism that rejected
thinking. Chan during his time was on a slippery
slope were the analogies of non-thinking became too
literal, and thus some Chan practitioners began to
advocate not thinking. Huineng saw this as a
degeneracy of Chan practice. Thus, I see static
quality as a way to point out static latches to help
prevent any slippery slopes. Static quality provides
a sense of order. I see what you mean by G-d is a
murderer, if taken in this context, for everything is
quality, correct?
