    Why can't a Nazi say that fascism and eugenics are the highest intellectual

    If they understood the MOQ, then they couldn't justify the killing of ideas
    for society's benefit. Per the MOQ, a society that kills ideas is evil.
    Right?

    Matt:
    What if the Nazi argues that it is a high Quality idea that a society must
    balance good ideas with bad ideas, that it is a bad idea to say that it is
    always a bad idea to kill ideas for society's benefit. In other words, if a
    Nazi doesn't accept certain interpretations of the MoQ, how do you argue
    that the Nazi is wrong? If he doesn't accept certain ideas that you think
    are high Quality, how do you have an argument about his degeneracy based on
    high Quality ideas?
