This int'l value manifested itself through Kevin's brain, through his
fingers, through a social system (without job, no computer) built by
bio'l org's, all on the substratum of matter and energy (inorganic
values)

right... so really, Dynamic is the most static thing around: it is
always there, follows laws and principles (it will always be there,
it is the best, life is heading towards it, it values freedom, it
hates static patterns...)
...and static Quality is the most Dynamic thing around. Everything is
in motion, always, and changing...

Could yin = DQ
and yang = sQ
...or the other way around?
perhaps both. Lao Tzu, where are you???

Umm.. I keep thinking of "...how you got conned in the first place
into thinking that an electron has within it all the information
necessary to build the city of New York..." (from memory, not direct
quote)

If the intellectual level involves math, science, ind'l rights and
freedoms, and is one half of what was understood as "mind".... then I
really can't see how, before intellect's emergence, matter had mind?

Here is something that blew me away. A friend studying nuclear
physics did a presentation on what is known as "funny energy".
Basically, and this is really new, a team has found that not only is
the universe expanding, but.... get this....

It's accelerating. (Becoming more Dynamic)

This has a whole bunch of huge consequences, which are a whole other
post.. but I thought we'd all appreciate this new avenue...
