Here you go again...Yes, you present a good argument above (what?).

Morality is expressed through our conceptualization.  I am not sure what you
referring to by re-conceptualizing them.  Are you stating that the current
concepts are immoral?  If so, at what point did they become immoral or
wrong?  Are you drawing a strict line between our conceptualization and
dynamic quality?  If so, how does this happen?  Since MOQ expands the notion
all the way down, what are you referring to as the "up".  Isn't it quite
possible that it expands it all the way up too?  If not, does this imply
that we are some divine creature separated from Quality?  What evidence do
you have that morality is only beneath us, and not within and above us?

You are going to have to think about this before you respond.  I think you
may come up with a new idea of MOQ by answering these questions.  It is my
impression that MOQ is some kind of distant phenomenon for you rather than a
personal attitude.  If you need some gumption on this, reread ZMM, it has
plenty of that.

Mark
