    Hi all,

    Am enjoying this thread and see that the discussion has drifted back
    to what I, in my attempts at formulating a MOQ version of the Problem
    of Evil, the Problem of Immorality (POI), see as a possible
    contradiction in the "nature" of Quality:

    paul:
    Thus, the second truth of Nagarjuna has the consequence that this
    whole static world is ultimately identical to Dynamic Quality, that
    there is really no division between static quality and Dynamic
    Quality. Quite simply, if Dynamic Quality is undivided, it can't be
    divided from static quality!

    msh:
    So DQ is absolutely Moral, yet contains immorality. Is the POI an
    argument against the existence of Quality, or just against the idea
    that Quality is Moral Perfection? IMO, the only way to avoid one of
    these conclusions is to sweep logic under the rug when it becomes
    inconvenient. But my own intellectual honesty won't allow me to do
    this, for I believe to abandon logic is to withdraw from the world to
    an extent that makes impossible the sharing of ideas. And there is
    not a single person on this list who thinks ideas can't be shared.

    paul:
    The first truth of Nagarjuna teaches us to become free of the
    illusion that the static world is itself real, while the second truth
    teaches us that it is real after all, not in the sense in which we
    tend to think it is, but in the sense it always has been.

    Gotta love those Buddhists!

    msh says:
    Yep. When necessary, they are master dust-concealers. And, in my
    fractured soul, I love them for it.
