[MD] What is the oppostite of Quality?

[Arlo Bensinger]

[John]
Right.  Quality is a neutral term that doesn't mean "good". It's all 
just random chaotic chance.

[Arlo]
No, its competing valuations of "good", many of which have little to 
do with preserving higher levels of static patterns, or preserving 
those things "man" believes to be "good". Look again at my example, 
the decomposition of the human body. The inorganic components are 
following Quality on their level, even though this means the 
dissolution of "higher" patterns. Thus, Quality is as much a force 
for "creation" as it is for "destruction", as these two terms require 
a specific "focus" to make sense.

When earthquakes or meteors or epidemics or wars destroy higher level 
patterns, it is not the result of some "anti-Quality" force, but the 
same Quality force that builds. It is, simple, lower level patterns 
pursuit of Quality overcoming the same pursuit by higher levels. *WE* 
may call this "destruction" for our particular focus, but for the 
lower level its success, good, Quality.

[John]
I've heard it before and it makes just as little sense to me as ever.

[Arlo]
How is that *my* fault? ;-)

[John]
But you have a good day, anyway.

[Arlo]
You too.
