Hi Mark,

Within a discussion, where the first principle is the idea that the world is nothing but _value_, what could you possibly be asking in such a question?  You wrote that the statement "all is analogy" leads to Existentialism and 'meaninglessness'.  ???  You should be answering the questions, not me. - You asked where I "find" meaning?  What do you mean by 'meaning'?  What type of 'meaning' do you expect me to find?  The MoQ is about Value(Dynamic/static); why should I expect to find 'meaning'?
