This reason/feeling/instinct doesn't seem different to your
thinking objectively, thinking emotionally, and thinking sensually.
Maggies graph of imitation -choice fits here too.
Whoever said feeling and instinct didn't require mental activity?
Whoever said thinking equaled reason?

BO>Sorry for sounding so cock-sure, but here in the last paragraph you veer
off into the usual
>blind alley of equating "thinking" - as such - with the Q-intellect. Thinking
OBJECTIVELY is
>Q-intellect. Thinking EMOTIONALLY is Q-society and thinking SENSUALLY is
Q-biology.
BO: The
other camp claim to have Pirsig's backing and it's a point that he says that
it's the dictionary
definition (...power of the mind to reason in contrast with feeling and
instinct) yet, does this
really address our problem? "...reason in contrast to feeling..." is exactly
what I have been
driving at. Feeling (emotion) does naturally require mental activity (or
abstract qualities). No,
I guess it's CONSCIOUSNESS which is the real issue. Have we ever addressed
that?
