Hi Bo

Good to hear from you! The MOQ states that both sides are right on the 
mind-matter debate, or so I gather. Einstein showed that energy and matter 
are not two separate "things" as had been assumed.

There are no subjects and objects. Thus there is no subject-object chasm. 
Subjects and objects are simply a great shorthand for patterns of value.

Thank you for your comments,
