[MD] A problem with the MOQ.

[Tuukka Virtaperko]

Ham,
but our theories coincide in that subjective quality is more fundamental 
than objective quality. Idealism seems to be coming back to fashion 
anyhow... well, I don't care about that, but I couldn't make the SOQ any 
other way.

Both your essentialism and my SOQ seem to start with the following:

-initial absence of metaphysical realism, that is, belief in an external 
world that consists of quarks and leptons and such
-a variant of idealism as the fundamental essence
-initial emphasis on the subjective
-the theory begins with what could perhaps even be called a mild form of 
solipsism, but advances out of that
