    Hey Ron,

    Ron said:
    "The Holocaust produced a satisfaction among Nazis. That was quality for
    them."

    By splitting SOM into the inorganic/chaotic, biological/inorganic,
    social/biological and intellectual/social, you have a framework for morals
    that does not give way to 'What works' as James pragmatism and radical
    empiricism did. The Nazis couldn't say "This was the highest intellectual
    Quality decision to advance society," but in an SOM pragmatism and
    empiricism, it is 'What works' for them.

    Matt:
    Why can't a Nazi say that fascism and eugenics are the highest intellectual
    Quality decisions to advance society?

    Matt
