I guess what scares me is the rigid structure of moral dominance with the intellectual level seen as the highest level of static good coupled with a mystical, undefined, quasi-religious DQ and pragmatism could lead to newness of ideas by default being equated to goodness of ideas. I think this is what happened in part with the application of Darwin's work to societies prior to any real understanding of it's consequences.
