John] Now Dave, I didn't say big picture... I said "big picture"... I was describing an attribute. The MoQ is an intellectual construct of very high quality, sharable with others. Yay MoQ. But that's not the same as the big picture Quality which provides a contextual values system we can use to inquire, "Is the MoQ any good?" Do you see this point and understand it fully? The nature of a Quality Metaphysic must be dynamic. Rule number 1 "in the making a good metaphysic" game. dmb] > Quality is direct, everyday experience, not a mechanism and certainly > > not a reductionist mechanism.

I mean let's face it. We all do it. And yet the fundamental existence of what is Good is not so easily and widely accepted. So much so, a Values-Free worldview seems a better choice. There must be more to Quality than direct experience, or Phaedrus would have just impaled himself upon the subjective horn, - "yeah, Quality is centered in a subject." dmb] > > Quality doesn't need to be proved because the term refers to what all > > persons already know directly from experience.

My Quality is bigger than lima beans. Which are delicious, btw, like so much of the earth's goodness and bounty. They are intrinsically GOOD.
