More and more I become of the relevance of the very concept of a point of view
(and some flexibility in switching from one another) is relevant to MOQ (that
good old Sophism). The very same sentence, Platt, also tells us that we must
strife to eliminate suffering if we are to play the game of Quality. Accept
suffering, and it will stop driving the process of evolution. No?
