Hey Bo,
Thanks. It's a relief to know we can move on to the
solution (I hope Denis is around). As for the
solution, I'm open to debate on it and I think at
times my "attacks" on your solution might be out of
misunderstanding. I'll try to understand as much
before seeking understanding.
Ok, yes "paraconsistent" logic is clunky and dorky and
I don't mean to be academic. I arrived at that word
through Wittgenstein and Derrida (through discussions
with a friend). Basically, Derrida talks about
"logocentrism", or how the West privileges the "Word"
or "logos." It more specifically privileges the
"spoken" word, so "presence" is better than
"abscence". So in one paragraph, that is the origin of
"deconstruction." Deconstruction wants to expose those
"privileges". So that is all I am saying about a new
level: are we mindlessly following logic on this?
The Wittgenstein stuff is just the "show" vs. "book"
thing. Ok, so here is how it works: the "book" mixing
of SOM and MOQ does NOT work. I agree with you. It is
inconsistent. But what about the "show" mixing of SOM
and MOQ? This is the weird part. I think if you think
of the "show" part as DQ, and you read the Q-intellect
THROUGH DQ, then the inconsistency goes away. I think
there can be Q-intellect as sq and Q-intellect as DQ
and they EXIST SIMULTANEOUSLY. That is what I mean by
paraconsistent. Q-intellect THROUGH sq is INCONSISTENT
but Q-intellect THROUGH DQ is CONSISTENT. They are
BOTH TRUE, that is PARACONSISTENTLY TRUE.
I think this position is better than yours BECAUSE you
only solve the sq problem. In addition, adding another
level is being static, which is "doing" exactly the
problem you are trying to solve. By reading the
Q-intellect Dynamically, the Q-intellect is not
SOMish. I gave examples to Erin in a post to her,
about seeing an attractive woman for a man. You can
use Q-intellect in a DQ way which BALANCES the SOMish
trend of the sq Q-intellect. So the very act of the
solution is the solution. Ok, now, I'm turning into
J.D. Salinger, or at least somewhat like Searle.
Out,
Angus
