    If we could all be ironists perhaps it could be good,
    but even I fancy some positive philosophy sometimes.
    You can only be ironic when we have some stories to be
    ironic about.

    Essentially (yes I'm doing ironic metaphysics again) I think we need to
    associate DQ with something divine, and SQ as the achievement of DQ. A
    cosmic achievement.
