All,
Let's suppose no philosophy besides the MOQ ever existed. What, then,
would it mean to state that everything is Quality?
If "being Quality" is the property of any thing, the following question
will arise: which one is more fundamental - that thing or its property
of being Quality?
Yet, if you can't identify the properties of everything, you can't
really state anything about it.
Of course there are also other philosophies than the MOQ, such as SOM.
Therefore, it is reasonable to say that "everything is Quality", because
this conveys the idea that anybody who says so wishes to discuss
philosophy from the viewpoint of the Metaphysics of Quality, and not
from the viewpoint of some other doctrine. But if other doctrines would
not exist, I don't know what it would mean to say that "everything is
Quality". It's not, in a strict sense, a philosophical statement. It's
mostly an instruction for humans to choose the right tradition of
discussion from multiple alternatives.
