Hi Bo and all!
This is primarily for Bo, but please join in everyone?
I should like to say a few words about, 'Computers taking control.'
I sincerely feel you are missing my point Bo? May i attempt to clarify?
I do not feel computers, of themselves will take control of anything.
I am suggesting that, enhanced modes of experience will provide a new avenue
for Quality to utilise. In this sense, the computer is analogous to a high
quality hammer; the engineer may beat panel with a hammer, and in doing so
create good art.
As with the enhanced human experience, it is the computer software evolving
in an evolutionary relationship with human experience that generates fifth
level - fifth level will, in this sense not be divorced from humans.
Fifth level will be static fifth level patterns composed of a relationship
between human experience and it's own enhancement with software.
I am not an advocate of AI suddenly jumping at our throats with a vengeance!
The relationship between AI and us will be a mediation of DQ, and it will be
valued by humans while shielding fifth level evolution.
As for the MOQ being a fifth level step?
Well, Quality has been pointed to throughout human history, and Pirsig's
pointer - the MOQ - is not new in this context. What is new, is the
development of science, and the MOQ does address this, making the MOQ
original and of extreme importance?
You know this and yet suggest the MOQ itself is fifth level? I find this a
little odd!
I feel sure the fault must be due to my own misunderstanding.
I don't know what more i can say right now in order to make myself more clear?
One thing i am confident about and it is this:
If you could experience your culture 50 years from now, you would almost
certainly find it impossible to integrate yourself, or be integrated.
All the best,
Squonk. :-)
