Thanks for the comment. Yes, Andre seems locked away for life, what 
value he sees in the MOQ as an intellectual - meaning subjective, 
abstract theory - is beyond me. At least this means MOQ's promised 
abolition of the S/O distinction will be gone with the wind.

Agree 100 %, but as you point to it's terrible difficult to undo the SOM 
as our reference frame. What Andre understand with intellect is not 
the 4th. level, but the mental compartment known as MIND and you 
can't have mind without matter, subject without object ...etc. and SOM 
is back. I don't know if you will go all the way, but IMO the 
Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics is the culprit. 

Sincerely
