Hello, this is my first time responding so please
exuse my ignorance of protocol and my still developing
understanding of MOQ.
I am a bit confused by this use of an "expression
list". Does each level correspond with the MOQ
hierarchy as an "expression" of that pattern of value?
In other words, are emotions an expression of social
patterns of value? Aren't emotions just a pattern of
value themselves? If we can identify emotion as the
expression of social patterns of value, what is the
link between emotion and social patterns of value like
bathing frequency or gender differences? What
"feeling" valued bathing daily over weekly or monthly?
I am also curious how emotion can be considered
strictly social? Isn't fear an emotion? I know the
emotion I feel as fear can be a biological value. For
instance, if I am strolling through the forest and
come one step from falling off a cliff my biology
gives me a shot of adrenaline and I might even
experience vertigo. I am likely to back away from the
cliff's edge shaking, sweating, breathing heavier, and
generally exhibiting symptoms that most people could
agree were indicative of genuine fear. Has this
emotion been an expression of biological or social
patterns of value?
I am also concerned with what you mean by using
ambiguous terms like emotion and interaction. If love
is an example of emotion, do you discern between the
horomone driven love between two adolescents and the
relaxed companion love of two senior citizens? Isn't
interaction (physical and chemical interactions) a
pattern of value for the inorganic and biological?
I am sorry if this "expression list" is laid out in
greater detail on the site, but I couldn't find the
thread that gave the initial explanation, and I am
very interested in understanding this better.
