ROGER COMMENTS TO JB, CLARK, DAVID AND PLATT
ON FREEDOM AND L - O - L - A Lola
To Jonathan and Clark:
I continue to be intrigued immensely by the associations between quality and
freedom and potential. The basic quanta of science are found to have an
essential amount of freedom (often called uncertainty). As we move to the
higher levels of complexity, interactions and possibilities increase as does
freedom.
The connection between the elusive DQ and 'potential' or 'increased choices'
seems strong, and worthy of additional contemplation. Thanks for sharing!
To David:
Loved your Lola story. Wonder what The Kinks would think? My only question
is why you state the intellectual level is the most dynamic , and therefore
the most out of touch with DQ. Am I misunderstanding something? Wouldn't it
be more appropriate to equate dreams with getting the biological level more
in touch with DQ, and Art as being the way to get the social level in tune?
Help me understand if you will.
By the way, I would second JB's comments that the levels do influence each
other, and I believe this is inherent in the MOQ, though you made some
interesting points on the rate of change. It makes me wonder about the
inherent conflicts as cave man biology wrestles with enlightenment age
society and information age intellect. Not only different moral codes, but
codes that move at dramatically different speeds..... due in great part to
the 'potential' as above.
Oh yea, have you read E. O. Wilson's "Consilience"? It deals with similar
issues as Lola, though in a very SOM way.
To Platt:
Awesome post on holistic MOQ!
Thanks for the entertaining insights all!
