Dearest Bo,
Me 26/3 12:02 +0100: 'Please stick to your
MoQ-as-rebel-intellectual-pattern-of-values interpretation...'
You 28/3 22:41 +0100: 'Point taken (shut up!'
How can you suspect ME of wanting you to shut up?!? I only asked you to be
consistent. Stating your MoQ to be BOTH a (rebel) intellectual pattern of
values AND 'beyond intellect' grates against MY logical nerve.
Dogma's can state all kinds of illogical things seen from the perspective of
higher level intellectual patterns of values.
A new metaphysics, the 'indisputable core' of a new intellectual pattern of
values, changes the nature of logic and in a sense (re)creates 'reality'
indeed. Only direct experience, the 'cutting edge of experience' stays the
same.
Intellectual patterns of values with Subject-Object Metaphysics at their
core create both objective and subjective 'reality'. Idealistic intellectual
patterns of values consider subjective 'reality' to be 'Reality' that
explains objective 'reality' and direct experience, which they consider to
be delusive. Materialist intellectual patterns of values on the other hand
consider objective 'reality' to be 'Reality' that explains subjective
'reality' and direct experience, which they consider to be delusive.
Before Subject-Object Metaphysics reigned Multiple Subject Metaphysics:
early humans were able to distinguish different (human or divine, individual
or collective) actors with different subjective 'realities' which explained
their otherwise confusing direct experience. They were able to choose
between (identify with or participate in) different subjective 'realities'.
Quality Metaphysics is the core of a rebel intellectual pattern of values.
It recreates 'reality'. It considers Quality to be 'Reality'. Quality
contains (consists of) static quality and Dynamic Quality and direct
experience is identified with DQ. For the first time in metaphysical history
direct experience gets the status of 'Reality' (even if shared with static
quality)! Also for the first time intellect doesn't postulate something
'Real' that explains delusive direct experience. In stead it postulates an
explaining mechanism (migration and latching of patterns of values) in which
direct experience participates. It is not a passive explained category any
more.
MoQ centered patterns of values are still intellectual patterns of values.
They (re)create 'reality' as all intellectual patterns of values do.
Multiple Subject Metaphysics centered patterns of values are intellectual
patterns of values also. They differ from social patterns of values, because
social patterns of values don't allow for 'reflection'. Social patterns of
values only involve thoughtless copying of behavior: habits if it is one's
own past behavior that is copied, material culture it is behavior of (high
status) others that is copied. Intellect creates 'reality', patterns of
ideas. Society creates groups, patterns of behavior.
Metaphysics, first indisputable ideas, only exist at the intellectual level.
With friendly greetings,
Wim
