Hi Bo, David and all,
Thanks for the welcome and also your response to my post.
The clarifications that you sought are important.
Firstly, all beliefs are static patterns and experiene is a dynamic pattern.
I have used the word belief only because 'counterbelief' if written as
'counter static pattern' is confusing to say. Counterbeliefs are extremely
important in any metaphysics , since our very existence is manifest
as a duality of 'counters'. For example the belief 'there is a God 'has a
counterbelief 'there is no god'. Both are static patterns.
Superstition is a belief not supported by reason but can be validated
by personal experience ,like the belief about ghosts.
By going into the metaphysics of intellegence of a person , I realise
has for now led to some confusion. Instead , let us look at the
relationship between intellegence and quality of a person
by taking up the comparison between Hitler and Einstein .
I am making the following assumptions :
a) both had intellegence . b) Einstein had quality , hitler did not.
c) Einstein had creativity, Hitler had negative creativity or destructivity
If you agree with these assumptions, then it is possible to deduce from
this that if both had intellegence but only Einstein had quality
then the difference must be of a Vital Ingredient that was present in
Einstein but was absent in Hitler !
Which means that intellegence + Vital Ingredient = creativity
and intellegence - Vital Ingredient = destructivity
Now the Metaphysics of Quality says that if a person has quality then
that person must have an element of Dynamic Quality and an element of
Static Quality.
Now if Static Quality is Intellegence then the Vital Ingredient must
be Dynamic Quality !
I rest my case.
