[MD] Flying Spagetti Monsters

[Laycock, Jos (OSPT)]

Stimulating yes, but damaging to the status quo nonetheless. As mentioned
the type of change you allude to stems from intellect so is moraly
jutifiable in overriding existing cultural patterns. The cultural patterns
themselves will not see it as positive however. To the culture it is damage,
to the intelectual it is a stimulant.

1) Attempting to state what is good is futile, when we recognise that a full
definition defies static explanation.
2) Good is dynamic
3) The absolute nature of static patterns (if that is even a valid concept)
are not visible to us, they are described by language in terms of shared
analogies, it is unlikely that these analogies are "accurate"
representations of the underlying paterns.
