[MD] Some historical perspective

[Ian Glendinning]

Precisely my point Marsha.

DQ "kills" intellect
Intellectual PoV's are "superior" to social,
Social PoV's are superior to .... etc .

Absolutetly nothing here with which to recognize or evaluate the
relative merits of different patterns of DQ.
Is any and all DQ equally good ? Total relativism.

This is just too simplistic an iterpretation of MoQ to be of practical value.
Where is the "rationality" for real world decision-making - what is
good, here, now, today my next meal, the next vote ?
