    I think you're onto what I've also seen as a problem with the MOQ, only
    you have explained it better than I -- a lack of recognition of the
    individual due to a pervasive "collectivist conception of man." I have
    argued to change the intellectual level to the individual level in order
    to represent man's moral elevation from tribalism to individual liberty,
    when a man is recognized and revered as an end in himself, not the means
    to the ends of others.

    It will be interesting to see the reaction of others to your insight. I
    bet it won't be pleasant.

    Best,
    Platt
