> But aren't individuals More moral than biological or social?


Platt:
Yes. 


 Ron:
> Are you saying that the social level is required? 


Platt:
Yes. All levels are required to be human.


Ron:
Are you suggesting a balance between the levels? Or one dominating the
other
Up to intellectual/individual dominance of all. in which biological,
Social and intellectual dominate together in a balance of power.


Ron:
> Why can't individuals, free of the social collective, perform morally?


Platt:
Currently they are dominated intellectually by amoral SOM.

Ron:
I mean by MoQ standards.

Ron:

> Why can't Intellect exploit biological to moral ends?

Platt: 
The only moral ends current intellect understands are religious and
traditional.

Ron:
Again I mean by MoQ standards.
