[MD] Philosophy is deadly

[John Carl]

Thanks Andre,

more than a year after I originally asked how the ambiguity of  Quality is
reconciled, somebody finally gives me an answer.

And a pretty darn good one, at that.

Or more pithily, we can just post Krimel's Axiom along with John's Corollary
- Shit happens, and that's a GOOD thing.

Logically equivalent to "Existence as a whole as fundamentally valuable" -
the essential heart of  the MoQ - and connects with my position that the MoQ
is a species of Absolute Idealism.

Yours,

John
