the platform is moveable, and is affected by the vibrations of the most powerful metronomes, in turn affecting the other ones. Consider the metronomes to be the population of America. And consider the platform to be the U.S. Constitution. If the Constitution remains grounded and firm, the metronomes will retain their own identity (their own rhythm) indefinitely. If it begins to move (become more flexible), all of the metronomes eventually tick in 'lock step'. ............................................................................................................................................. That is the basis of anything that functions in the physical universe. You cannot sit and type on a typewriter if the table the typewriter sits on is not stable. If the base (the table and the floor under the table the typewriter sits on is solid and stable, a competent typist can easily do his/her typing. In any physical sport the stance from which the athlete works has to be stable. There are some forms of martial arts where the student does nothing for two years but work to hold his stance. Once he can do that in any situation, everything else he would do proceeds from the stable stance. Do you want to undermine anything in the physical world? Take away its stable base and it will not be able to function.

I can see that, Simpy! Very "scientific"! American citizens are just the same as metronomes! =

Simplicity, good illustration, although I would extend it even further to post-modernism, which eliminates traditional moral foundations and bases itself on the notion that there are no absolute truths (except, of course, for the truth that there is no absolute truths). Without a strong moral foundation, you can be swayed by anything. Tenchusatsu
