[MD] Freedom and the Good

[Arlo Bensinger]

[John]
I don't quite get Arlo's complaint against Platt, how can having a 
cosmically intrinsic directional pull toward betterness impinge upon freedom?

[Arlo]
Words like "produce", "create", "controlling" all imply a volitional 
and intentional orchestration by some external force.

[John]
Does Arlo complain against gravity because it forbids him from 
floating off into the aether?

[Arlo]
Gravity does not "forbid" anything. That would imply intentional 
control. Like when you parents "forbid" you from having ice cream 
before dinner.

Since we are talking about "better" words, I suggest "structurate".

[John]
A cosmos without quality is like a rollercoaster in space - meaningless.

[Arlo]
Since when did Arlo ever say the cosmos is without Quality?
