Hi Bo,
I hope not to confuse subtlety or mystery for that which aesthetically
unpleasant.
Subject/Object metaphysics is already integrated into a metaphysics of
quality because SOM is an Intellectual pattern of value.
I suggest SOM is a METHOD used by INTELLECT to organise memes.
INTELLECT is the ABILITY to organise memes generally, but not specifically
into SOM.
RATIONALITY is a METHOD for organising memes using SOM.
Therefore, we can see that SOM and SOLAQI are not the only METHODS available
to INTELLECT. The ability to organise memes is an INTELLECTUAL activity.
The MOQ has as its essence 'IT' which is the ART counterpart of METHOD.
I am sorry you feel all this is worthy of a post script well outside of the
bullseye.
The Inorganic and Organic evolved before the Social and Intellectual. The
Social may be fruitfully expressed as memes. The Intellectual may be
fruitfully expressed as Methods or programmes for manipulating memes
generally.
Traditionally, the SOM subjective realm has dealt with social and
intellectual realities, and memes can expand this into the value realm if we
orchestrate memetics well. I find that incredibly exciting and potentially
very high quality indeed; for us MOQers may at last begin to see values
taking centre stage in the scientific arena - and in an area concentrating on
human values, i.e. the social and intellectual.
If the SOLAQI is getting in the way of that development, then the SOLAQI will
have to go, for the benefit of humanity.
Squonk.
