Hi Steve, all,
You asked Platt,
>Thinking of social and intellectual patterns as emerging simultaneously,
>you
>lose the hierarchical nature of the levels. Again I ask you, how could
>you
>say that the intellectual level is a higher level than the social level if
>both types of patterns emerged at the same time?
Good point Steve, it would seem to be just a preference to say one level was
"higher" if that were the case. What do you think of the idea that
intellectual patterns operate on social patterns, the computer for
intellectual novels is society? Obviously that would mean that social
patterns had to be there first. I like that for the hierarchy, but it
doesn't work if intellectual patterns are simply thinking, as you can think
about biological patterns and operate on biology and inorganic patterns with
ideas.
