Hello All, but especially Bo!
Bo, i have been thinking about your SOLAQI approach.
I do not claim to have a thorough understanding of your position, and i feel
sure you are rather fed up with having to continually explain it to people
such as myself?
Please excuse me if i have not, 'Got it' so to speak?
Would you indulge me and follow this:
Memes.
I feel memes are a useful way of dealing with social patterns of value. I
feel we may usefully describe static social patterns as memes.
I also feel that Intellectual patterns can be fruitfully described as memes,
but memes that are the foundation of METHOD. Thus, Intellectual patterns
initiate METHODOLOGIES.
Democracy is a method; science is a method, and SOM is method. We may wish to
invent a new term for intellect memes: Hypermemes of some description?
Method and Art are closely linked: The zen painter and archer, sculptor and
swordsman, all use method through which, 'IT' creates rather as snow falls
from the leaf.
Thus, METHODS such as science are used by, 'IT' to paint our culture with
technology?
METHODS such as SOM are used by, 'IT' to paint the preconditions for science?
METHOD evolved from the background memetic culture created by, 'IT' from
biological roots?
I feel, if you will excuse me, that your q-intellect is inadequate, for it
does not recognise the vast reservoirs of intelligence within culture:
INTELLIGENCE may be usefully viewed as the ABILITY to mediate memes.
RATIONALITY may be usefully viewed as one METHOD - itself a hypermeme - for
mediating memes.
Thus, Intelligence is not restricted to q-intellect but is found pervading
culture extensively - and this intelligence is quality stuff.
The evolution of rationality is the leading edge of this movement - a
movement you constrict as q-intellect proper?
The MOQ underpins it all as ART:
There are more METHODS than SOM, science, democracy, etc. And your
q-intellect does not do these justice.
The MOQ is the ART counterpart of METHOD. The MOQ has as its essence the zen,
'IT' that uses METHODS such as science to create.
So, to sum up:
Memes may be a nice description of social static value.
Hypermemes initiating methods are intellectual static value.
The MOQ is equivalent to zen IT and creates it all.
Thanks for your patience BO,
All the best,
Squonk.
