    In amongst Squonk's tirades of abuse, hilariously
    justified retrospectively as 'satire' (in fact, this
    is the only funny thing he has said), I noticed a
    theme that seems quite interesting. It is exemplified
    by his rhetoric of looking out into the woods and
    appreciating quality. So, my question is, to what
    extent is the MoQ an explanatory intellectual regime,
    and to what extent is it normative? I've always
    thought the former, in that it simply explains
    reality, it explains the 'platypi etc. But Squonk
    cites it as something that could perhaps 'produce'
    quality, or at least make us appreciate quality. I've
    always thought of the MoQ as an 'external' view of
    experience, not something that 'prescribes'
    qualitative relations 'internally'. Any thoughts?

    Matt
