Platt: Not sure what you think is the difference between what's right what's best. Is is not right for business to make a profit? Ron : All depends Platt, what's best is not always what's right. Profit may be best but it may not be right, right is a social Level pattern what's best is an intellectual level pattern. Exterminating the Jewish people, taking their land and property For profit was best for a depression era Germany. But it was not right. Invading another country for profit may be best but it is not right. But MoQ states that what is best is right by the intellectual level, The highest moral pattern is what survives by any means necessary. Good is a social level concept, best is an intellectual level Concept there fore of higher moral quality. Hitler was an MoQist of the highest moral standard. Complete Individual freedom for himself, atheist, Believed in the dominance of intellectual over Social, and quite a good artist I must say. He valued art highly. As a matter of fact you and he share many common Points of view about society, beauty, the poor, the weak, Charity, individual profit, exploitation and Morals. The complete triumph of individual intellectual patterns Over social collective patterns, evolution.
