To all:
Most of the discussion here recently is about MOQ as a DESCRIPTIVE system.
I would really like to have a discussion about the usefulness of MOQ for
giving PRESCRIPTIVE guidelines, by applying it to real-life situations.
Especially I am interested in what it has to say about the environmental
questions where an expanding human population 'needs' to damage or destroy
an ecosystem to survive. How can ordinary citizens create a consistent
INTELLECTUAL pattern using the MOQ that would be acceptable to everyone in
society and preserve the environment?
One idea that might help: we should not think about biological entities
like wolves, grass, fir trees, etc. as BIOLOGICAL value patterns only. They
naturally exist in ecosystems, which can adapt to Dynamic Quality (example,
a forest fire) as a whole even though the individual biological entities
are destroyed. But ecosystems are not "Social", that is parallel to human
SOCIAL value patterns, because they're not a higher level that uses the
lower level for its own needs.
Or do they?
