Now there's a clear answer if I ever saw one. You've used the MoQ to
analyze what's been going on in the Squad lately and used it to render
a moral judgment.
I think it's sensational that you attribute egocentrism and narcissism
to the social level, an insight that baffled me for a moment. But of
course. How can you be an egotist unless you compare yourself to
others in society?
These are the kinds of moments I live for on the Squad. Midst all the
nonsensical chaff there are more kernals of intelligence than are to
be found on any other site I know of. One must simply be patient.

P.S. Many thanks for your chapter by chapter synopsis of Lila.
