[MD] MOQ and the Future: An Inquiry into Usefulness

When I analyze choice or oops down to its core meaning, I am left with the notion that I am substituting that phrase for that which I do not know.  If chance is purely chance, then why in statistics do things fall around a mean?  Such probability expressions would indicate the absence of chance.  It is quite possible that there is choice at every level.  The electron released to the right instead of to the left because it wanted to.  What created the universe?  If you say chance, then you are just replacing God with another word, in that case you should at least capitalize it as in Chance.  Give the power to Chance, it is still an omnipotent entity.  At every level a decision is being made, maybe not by a super sized human brain like thing, but by something more simple.  Let's call that Quality.

Well it more honest than inventing a reason or pretending that we can know.

What Platt struggles to grasp, is that the MOQ is "AHA!"*. His view simply substitutes the word "Quality" for "God", but maintains pretty much everything about. "Quality" had this master plan, see, to make "humans". So Quality ordered and created and commanded and organized the world is precisely such as way so as to bring about "man", who had been ordained from inception billions upon billions of years ago to be "special". Indeed and moreso, all of human history has unfolded precisely the way it did, according to plan, so as to produce "Platt". His existence is part of Quality's "plan". All the choices of living and dying and who had sex with who and who didn't were all part of Quality's Master Platt Producing Plan. There is a "Reason" he is here, in fact his parent's had little choice in the matter, Quality ensured that they would do all they did in their lives so that Platt could come into being. There was no "chance" or "oops" or anything of the sort. Everything was orchestrated just so. That asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs, that was sent as part of Quality's deliberate plan to ensure the world would become hospitable to "man", the dinosaurs of course only existed at all for a short time so that their collective remains would furnish us with fuel. It was no "chance" encounter, it was all part of Quality's plan. And that's the key.

* AHA! by the way, captures the freedom (free will) of DQ at all levels (and throughout cosmological time) and all complexities of patterns, and the recognition and subsequent latching of things stumbled upon by patterns that are seen as "good" (SQ).
