Is Quality something you are interested in discussing? Does Quality matter to you? Or are you more interested in Truth? [Ron] Quality is all that we are discussing Mark, it's all what any discussion is about. Firstly in my response I am going to try to avoid coming off like I'm pontificating because that is what comes easily to this type of inquirey when all I'm attempting to do is clarify my previous responses to you which as it seems to look from the type of questions you are asking, that I indeed have a difficult task. I dont want to be the typical arse and just say "read the books" nor do I want to come off like I'm trying to teach you anything or do the typical dick move of saying that you are sooo off base that it's no use even trying. So I'm going to try and pick a "best" place to start with the most general meaning of what I'm trying to say so please dont get upset if I snip your questions down to the ones I feel have the most impact on helping along the dialog, lets begin by what you are most confused about. [Mark] I am most confused by your last statement: "A metaphysics based on Quality is the development of meaning in experience it is the perpetual inquiry of what are the best things in life." So, a metaphysics based on Quality is one of creating meaning. How is this any different to any other metaphysics? It also seems that you think MOQ is for determining what is best. How does this work exactly. I am simply asking you to further expand on your statements so that I can understand what you mean by Quality. [Ron replies] I chose the term "develop" over "create" because I wanted to emphasize that what I see MoQ doing is clarify meaning, which is how it is different from any other metaphysic. That is also how it helps to determine what is best. For certainly gaining a better understanding of what we believe we already know is more valueable than not. .. , Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
