[MD] BBC documentary 'the trap'

[Ian Glendinning]

Khaled, Platt,

Too many issues rolled-up in there.

Why see determinism as something opposed to free-will ?
The world (in MOQish terms) is in levels - deterministic processes in
one layer doesn't deprive another of free-will. Real patterns of
activity in the world cross levels in complex ways. Not everything
reduces to binary choices.

"Free" markets - games - are fine if they are held to account against
the right (MOQish) values - they can't be entirely free of value.

Universal good may not exist, but a universal framework for the
evolution of good seems to work OK.
