[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

[Ian Glendinning]

Thanks for that clarity Platt.

Same old circular problem. Yes the "metaphysics of choice" is an
intellectual pattern which sets itself up as being "outside" existing
intellect ... by definition .... agreed. It's the word "meta" that
breaks the loop, and allows us to move on, those for whom argument has
some purpose, that is.

The rhetoric of "just another" and "dump" is for those whose point is
simply "looking for an argument".
