Dear Rod,

You wrote (among other things) 12/3 11:26 +0000:
'we must avoid taking the moral high ground in defining too rigidly, the
paths to a more utopian society'.

English is not my mother tongue, but I think 'to define' can be used both in
a descriptive and a prescriptive sense. I always assumed that we are using
it in the descriptive sense in the question 'how to define the path of a
society toward DQ' that is more or less central to this thread. Prescription
('How to assist people in other parts of the world to make progress along
that path?') requires several intermediate questions to be answered first.

With friendly greetings,

Wim
