Dear Mark M.,
You said:
"It would be better if you cut this out. Freedom of expression is a must but
this is very poor Quality."
I am glad that you do agree with me that any such "ad hominem personal
attacks",
are of very poor intellectual quality, but, also you failed to mention that
my own
response was only in kind to Rich's false personal ad hominem insults, and
to make
that very same point.
Mark 23-6-04: Well Paul, I am happy to correct my omission: ad hominem
attacks are poor intellectual Quality regardless of who makes them.
It would actually be better if everyone avoided any such "ad hominem
personal
attacks", so that we could concentrate instead on discussing LILA and the
MOQ
and how it actually relates to COSMOTHEISM or the evolution of the COSMOS
via
DQ.
Best regards,
Paul Vogel
Mark 23-6-04: I do not understand how you arrive at Cosmotheism from the
MOQ's DQ/SQ metaphysical split Paul. The MOQ says SQ is evolving in response to
DQ, as you must know.
At the biological and social level there are differentiation's in values.
There are differentiation's between Human biological patterns. This must be so
otherwise it would not be possible to distinguish between any patterns at the
biological level at all - everyone would appear the same.
Plato argued that Humans would improve if bred like animals. One may
appreciate how he arrived at this conclusion; animals may be selectively bred in order
to reinforce certain biological patterns, therefore Humans may respond in the
same way. In a word - eugenics.
Isaac Asimov's 'outer worlders' used eugenics in the Elija Bailey robot
novels. The outer worlds were the first 50 planets to be colonised; a number
deliberately chosen to draw parallels with the 50 American states. It may be argued
that Asimov was exploring some difficult issues in his literature?
On one such world - Solaria - eugenics combined with robot technology
produced a society where people only ever communicated via holographic projection,
finding personal contact totally disgusting.
In the end, the 50 outer worlds failed because they grew so biologically
clean that they would not risk anything that would threaten their 200+ year life
spans. It was left to the 'dirty germ ridden' people of the Earth to go far
beyond yet another 50 worlds to eventually establish a Galactic Empire.
Dynamic Quality you see?
Diversification increases Dynamic response.
If you begin selecting on biological grounds you lose the diversification
which leads to higher levels of Quality.
All the best,
Mark
