Re-read this thread,  I supported the thesis, and with reflection, this is easy to realize.

"The qualitative measure" is an undefined construct that has not been proved to exist.  If it does not exist, it cannot need anything.
A reckoner who maintains who we are (+ judge, witness, eternal reality) is an undefined construct that has not been proved to exist.
The problem with the OP, this thread, and this post is that it's a word-salad flight of fancy about an imaginary friend.  It's ok if you think your invisible green and purple-polka-dotted dragon exists if it makes you happy.  But if you start telling us that we have to believe he spits up rainbows, we'd better be able to see and touch him or you're just writing gibberish.

Read the OP.  I supported each thing in this statement in enough detail.

It would seem that we do not agree, MK.

Sad, demanded proofs but when presented them, just ignored what you were reminded of, the very proofs in your soul, in every state of your existence, the proof of all you really value in life from a kid to now, all that, as if it doesn't matter.

And we keep telling you that stories and fantasies and "if you'll only give it a chance you'll feel it in your heart" are not proof.  They are unverifiable fantasies.  "You'll feel it in your soul has no value to someone who is convinced that souls don't exist.  We've told you what will be accepted as proof.  You keep pasting walls of gibberish.  No, you haven't presented one millisecond's worth of proof.

MK, what is your obsession with all this ultimate stuff? Is everything else insignificant? If you can't have ultimate, why bother I guess.

How can proof reside in something non-existent?

No evidence for souls. Just a superstition made up to ease mortals' fear of death.

Oh, and value is a quality, not a quantity, and it's also subjective rather than objective. Therefore, it's nonsense to talk of "qualitative measure."
