Krimel said to Marsha: That is my understanding of the Taoist view. Betterness is a relative term. It describes a relationship. Lao Tsu said this about it: ...difficult seems so because of ..ease. ...long by comparison with that which is, short. ..high because another thing is low; only when sound ceases is quietness known, and that which leads is seen to lead only by being followed."
dmb says: Shall I take this to mean that all your objections to the notion of "betterness" were insincere? That's kinda how it looks. Same with the social darwinism topic too, I suppose. You're just bullshitting for the fun of it or something, right? You've only been pretending to be clueless, huh? This is why I never win at poker. Apparently, I can't tell when the other guy is bluffing. [Krimel] I believe I made mention of this post in our discussion of betterness. I said it is a relative term. Here in indicated as relative to its opposite. To first claim that Quality or DQ aims at "betterness" and then claim the term subsumes worseness as well is just horse hockey. Apparently your skill at poker is rivaled only by your skill at reading but we gone over that already as well. By the way I went through a lot of pain reading that Wilber stuff for you and I have been dropping digs at Wilber for a month now. What's a guy gotta do to pick a fight around here? 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.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
