Hi Roger (and David)
Delighted to hear that you have been exonerated of the charges against you!
Thanks for giving me a good chuckle this morning David. Your "philosophy
cop" post was brilliant!

Glove: I can agree with that assessment.

Glove: no, I haven't. I will add it to my "to read" list. Thanks for the
suggestion!
Roger:

Glove: I see what you mean. He is certainly moving along the same lines as
Pirsig, as information could be another way of expressing experience. While
we are talking books, have you ever read any Sheldrake? His theories also
seem to fit into the same category. Though Sheldrake doesn't discuss
multiple universes, he does say that the past (David has also recently
mentioned something along these lines) has a constraining influence on the
present that we have wrongly tried to attribute to strictly physical means,
such as genetics, and that this constraining influence, called morphogenetic
field theory, lies completely outside the range of our detection. Sounds a
whole lot like Dynamic Quality to me!
Best wishes
glove
