Bodvar to Andre and dmb:

'...there is a DQ/SQ split INSIDE the MOQ, but not another greater chasm
between Quality and the MOQ.

Andre:
Hi Bodvar. Thanks for the compliment but as stated to dmb...I am tredding on
untrodden ground (for me). Something went 'iggly' in my stomach region when
I read your above 'INSIDE the MOQ'. So, at the risk of being thrown off the
lofty heights and down into the ravine I must ask the question: Are we not
making the same mistake (with DQ) as Plato made with Arete? As dmb says to
Krimel:
In ZAMM he says, "Plato HADN'T tried to destroy ARETE. He had ENCAPSULATED
it; made a permanent , fixed Idea out of it; had CONVERTED it to a rigid ,
immobile Immortal Truth. He made ARETE THE Good, the highest form, the
highest Idea of all. (Thank YOU dmb!)

To wit: by placing DQ/SQ BOTH INSIDE the MoQ are we not thereby
inadvertently encapsulating the 'undifferentiate aesthetic continuum' (DQ)?
Thus killing the MoQ? and reducing the whole lot to, in your words Q-SOM??

Curious to say the least.
Regards
Andre
