[MD] the prime directive of the MOQ

[David M]

Hi Scott

Funny you should say that, because surely
what is brought into being crosses over from
an infinite realm into a finite one so that there can
be a something rather than only an infinite nothing.
A something is inevitably less than an everything,
and an everything is beyond the comprehension
of even gods. So this finite realm should be valued
for its very limitations. So this gulf is important.
But where does man stand in relation to these two
linked and opposite realms? Perhaps an explorer
in one to help embellish the other.
