[MD] [MD} The relativity of the MoQ

[John Carl]

Good is a noun.  But is it an object?  I fear objectifying good because now
you can cut it up and dissect it with your analytic knife.
And if if you say all nouns are objects then I object.

How about gravity?  Gravity is a noun, but is it an object?  It's a force
that exists between objects and defines their relations, but is it itself an
object?

If gravity ain't an object, then neither is quality.

All I need  in metaphysics is what I learn on a roller coaster.
