[ Problematic Statement as it sits.
If one attempts to improve a social organization to maximise DQ,
then the philosophy becomes a social philosophy which is moral
over what preceded. However, if the philosophy seeks to maximise
SQ or promote social devouring of intellect, then the social
philosophy
is immoral and the act of so placing the philosophy is as well.]

Mona Lisa endures beyond DaVinci. true. The memory of the
dance endure beyond the curtain's fall. true. However, in an
ultimately reflexive way, biologically, for me, the hard muscled
young stud with the cheekbones didn't even survive into
middle age, unless the mirror lies about the bald old fat guy
who seems to have replaced his reflection ;-) ]
