Hi Mark,
very interesting, really! Still, I don't understand something.
Mark 6-9-04: Hi Ilya, I've changed the subject because i'm not prepeard to
deal with Platt Holden.
How does it happen that in our ordinary life we don't feel
ourselves as three separate entities - biological, social and
intellectual, but feel ourselves as one whole self?
It you say that the self is illusion, then I will ask, THE ILLUSION OF
WHOM?
Mark 6-9-04: The entities you describe are intellectual patterns of value.
But the postulation that inorganic patterns exist independently of intellectual
values is high Quality and derived empirical experience.
As for the self, i direct you to the, 'time lag' argument. Patterned
experience is always of the past. Therefore, 'you' are a narrative built from past
experience. This 'you' is what experience makes it.
I introduced the concept of hierarchy of dominance of patterns
to explain this problem and thought the mystery solved. But today I
suddenly thought: WHERE or IN WHOM does this hierarchy exist? If there
are no place and no one where or in whom the hierarchy exist then the
very idea of hierarchy doesn't make any sense! We are exactly where
we had started from.
Hope you will help to clear things up.
Best regards,
Ilya
Mark 6-9-04: All ideas are intellectual postulations and graded by Quality.
The best ideas survive.
Re: Hierachy. The evolutionary related levels of the MOQ are a moral
hierarchy. The most recent levels are moraly superior to the older ones. Experience
tells us this is a high Quality intellectual postualtion.
All the best,
Mark
