    Not BEFORE at all! Substances obtain their physical, chemical, biological,
    (so-called extensional) properties in coordination with their moral,
    legal, political, financial, social and pragmatic values. I am not saying
    there is NOT a distinction between these two sorts of properties, but that
    the distinction itself is a product of their interaction. In consequence,
    no sort of property is more basic (or historically prior) than the other.
