    Paul and People.
    It reminds me of an instance when Struan Hellier roamed these
    forums, his aim was to prove the MOQ to be "subjective". I had been
    on to the same ZMM part where P. is confronted with the SOM
    "horns" dilemma and makes short thrift of the objective one, but
    dwells longer on the subjective one. As I see it he sort of declares
    EVERYTHING to be subjective in a much wider sense than the S/O
    one, in more of a "Buddhistic" sense. i.e: that the QUALITY he talked
    of was another name for this fundamental - um - Eastern subjectivity.

    Struan was of course not prepared to go into - or understand - these
    subtleties and triumphed: Finally I had admitted that the MOQ was
    subjective! So when you throw up your hands in exasperation ((24
    Sep.) after I had said:

    Bo:

    ...I can only regret having been so stupid - again - as to raise this
    point! But I had thought that YOU would understand the enormous
    difference between an opening like (for example): Reality=Mind and
    then Dynamic/Static Mind .... and that of introducing "mind" as a
    level in the STATIC sequence.

    Glad you haven't gone lurking Paul. Look out for my "solution" post
    that is almost ready. I'm very interested in your reaction to it.
    Sincerely
    Bo
