Steve:
The MOQ says that the only things that exist are such preferences
(patterns of value). Locating such preferences in a subject is an
inference from the preferences, so the subject borrows any existence
it can be thought of as having from the patterns of preference from
which it is inferred. There is no "I" that stands out side of patterns
of value (except for the capacity for patterns to change). In other
words, what you are (and what a rock or tree or thunderstorm is) is
collection of likes and dislikes, loves and hates, desires and
aversions. When you peal that onion there is only emptiness (DQ).
