    describes how the intellect cannot control the biological order, but
    the social order can ( I see ‘order’, ‘existence’ in the social
    order).

    msh says:
    I see the unfinished in intellect; I see the order in social; don't
    understand "purpose" at the biological. What do you mean?

    I see DQ always as a positive, something always pushing us forward.
    Not sure what you mean by movement away. We either fight gravity or
    succumb to it, so no neutrality. But, IMO, DQ is experienced only
    when we STOP fighting. Whadaya think?
