[MD] i love quality decline

[ian glendinning]

Gav, when you say
"it is better that the whole world should perish rather than i act
against my own nature."

I need to remind you of the paradox, that earlier you explained the
human (any being) being "in and of nature" in the world.

When you say, the whole world should perish, you cannot literally mean
it ... you surely mean a whole aspect of the world ... at which point
I might find ways of agreeing with you ... but as the footnote on
every page of my blog says the words "creative destruction" can never
again be used lightly, the stakes are too high.

As I say, I respect your knowing where you want to be, your matter of
principle, but you can understand people rejecting a path to get there
that involves "that the whole world should perish" ?

What do you really mean by that phrase ?
