This touched me. Throughout my "career" at the MOQ site I've 
seens so many entered, but been frustrated by the said speed and 
diversity. However, because the MOQ territory isn't charted we 
may get into tributaries and be lost for long periods. I compare it to 
the early Greek thinkers who we now hardly can discern the SOM 
content with. But they - or the next generations, got back to the 
main stream and the SOM got more and more SOM until it with - 
say - Descartes reached its mind/matter form that began to spawn 
paradoxes and irk thinkers until the most "dynamic" somist - 
Phaedrus - found the way out.
