The main stumbling block here seems to be the semantics surrounding the term
judgement. In everyday use the term has strong connotations of condemnation based on
perceptions of a social nature. However within the MoQ it is at the root of our interaction
with the world on all levels. Reality is a moral order (one of the fundamental properties
of the MoQ) and we continually assess our interactions with the world. We do this by
experiencing and categorising patterns of value - this is what creates the world.
Judgement works at all static levels and with experience of Dynamic Qualilty. Not just
OUR experience but all experience from the ground up. Even without the presence of
humans judgement occurs and this judgement is a moral judgement. A causes B (SOM)
is judgement free but B prefers precondition A (MoQ) is a moral judgement. Precondition
A is better than precondition C.
When humans make judgements they are doing no more than this but in a more
complex way to the nth degree because we are so much more complex and are created
by all levels of value patterns and by our unique ability to react to Dynamic Quality.
If our judgements were limited to social patterns of value I would agree with you but they
aren't, so I don't.
We continually hear examples of judgements of others based on purely social patterns
of value and whilst these may have validity on occasion they are not the full picture.
With the introduction of a quality-centerd order to the world moral judgements gain a
validity that was previously absent.
