Sorry, don't agree with this at all. What is "possessed with the ability for
DQ"? If it just means the ability to move forward dynamically, then human
beings are not the only dynamic 'thing'. How else would the inorganic level
have produced the biological? If it means a responding to Quality, then no
again, ameobas (ameobi?) can sense Quality. Whilst DQ requires some sort of
'comprehending system' to be useful, DQ is not itself the comprehending
system.
As regards my view of evolution, it has been put forward by others here.
Evolution vis a vis the levels is both a move away from the existing static
and a migration in the direction of (but not towards) DQ. (Using the word
towards to me suggests a destination, but DQ is always the forefront of
reality, the incomprehensible and unreachable by its very nature.) Over
time, existing static patterns become anachronistic and require replacement
(eg. our current situation with the antagonism between social and
intellectual patterns). Therefore, the creation of new patterns, eg
intellectual patterns to sit atop social patterns, is a move away from the
social patterns primarily, but the direction in which this move occurs is
given by DQ. Various moves away will have been tried over time, all in the
direction of (differing) DQ. One (or maybe more) has 'latched' at each of
these periods, eg biological over inorganic, social over biological....
Not totally coherent, but there you go,
Simon
