Hi Horse Agreed. I see no problem here. But again, this "betterness" that Ron is pointing to... I just don't see that there are four kinds, or five, as the case may be. They all point to the same underlying idea... that there is some "thing" driving static quality patterns of value towards freedom. In the MOQ, we call that some "thing" Dynamic Quality. And yes, I can see that we are both right and both wrong. I just think it is confusing to state that there are four kinds of better, especially if we say Dynamic Quality is what's better. Now, we have four kinds of Dynamic Quality. I prefer to look towards the commonality of the underlying notion of "betterness" guiding the evolutionary history of static quality and not posit this "betterness" as part of that. Once we do that, we've effectively defined Dynamic Quality. That way, stagnation awaits.
