[MD] MOQ free of anthropocentrism, non-realism, idealism and a confined sense of experience

[David Morey]

Hi MOQers

I understand that certain people think the MOQ implies the following:

Anthropocentrism

Idealism

Non-realism

Primary experience excludes SQ and traps the MOQ within a self contained world that cannot recognise that SQ and DQ are unfolding in processes independently of human experience and prior to human existence

This implies that the MOQ cannot make any sense of naturalism or evolution

I suggest the MOQ does not need to embrace any of the above and should be seen as realist about the ontological status of both SQ and DQ and that quality is found in human experience, quality is not created by human experience.

This challenge has not been addressed in the archive as far as I know. If anyone can explain how an MOQ with the above assumptions can explain science and its realism and naturalism in MOQ terms without ditching non-realism, anthropocentrism and denying that SQ and DQ were unfolding before and prior to human experience I am all ears. More likely that certain people will start denying they ever said the MOQ implied such hopeless ideas. Whilst we wait, happy to discuss a realist and non-anthropocentric MOQ with anyone who is interested.

Tao is obviously realist and non-anthropocentric and non-SOM if no one has noticed. Realism does not imply SOM, go read Whitehead or Bhaskar and get your thinking straightened out -2 non-SOM realists for example, you should all get out more!

All the best
