Hi Johnny and All
On 19 Aug. you responded to this response from me:

I skip the things leading up to this point as I haven't followed it too
closely. You say you "like" the idea/rock aggregate, that's good but I
had hoped for a resounding YES because this is really what all is
about, how to define the Q-intellect I mean. If that is seen as the "idea
of a rock/the rock itself" aggregate all problems dissolve.

Johnny:

Er ..yes, because - as said - what you wrote (below) are valid as
arguments before the Quality insight, but disastrous afterwards.

"Mythos" is the pre-intellectual social era (I call) no?

To the Stone Age (who had a special relationship with rocks ;) nature
weren't what we (from intellect ) call "matter", the proverbial rock was
rather petrified "life". Your above "intersubjective agreement" as if
decisive for the rock's existence is intellect peering down on the rest of
existence from its "alta vista".

But the MOQ is a even higher vista, from where intellect is "the rest of
existence" and NOT mind - as I accuse so many of you to view it like.
MIND IS REMOVED TO THE Q-LEVEL!!! In this context the
"intersubjective agreement based on common mythos" becomes:
"Intellect's divide of a material rock and an idea of that rock began with
people of old starting to ask for a permanence beyond the MYTH.

My above deliberations is my explanation. Hope it makes sense.
