[MD] Is Morality innate in the cosmos?

[ian glendinning]

Platt,

I'm not following this thread too closely,
but I thought I'd answer the direct question ...

Q - Is Morality innate in the cosmos?
A - Yes.

Q - How come ?
A - See Pirsig.

Platt - "I don't think we "need" four evolutionary moral levels like
we need food,
shelter and clothing. But I do think we need a better foundation for moral
judgments than "whatever man thinks makes sense."

Ian - Isn't that "better foundation" the MoQ ? 4 levels, 2 levels, 3
levels, 10 levels, I don't care too much. We need relationalism -
considering all quality interactions in the cosmos. We must NOT accept
"relativism" setting up (any) "man as the measure of all things"

Regards
Ian
