static quality values preconditioned fear to create stable patterns of
value."

Me:
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I was always under the impression that it
is a fear of the KNOWN that causes us to cling to SPov's. Fear of the
harsh laws of the jungle (BPov's) causes us to value and cling to society
(SPov's). Fear of uncontrolled societies (i.e. Fascism, totalitarianism)
causes us to cling to the intellect (IPov's). Is this wrong???

I have another question as well...

isn't to pursue experience, it is to pursue a type of experience, or a
quality of experience. The type of experience is clearly toward UNPATTERNED
EXPERIENCE."

Me:
"Unpatterned experience" to me sounds very much like Chaos. I was always
under the impression that DQ is different from chaos. After all, the first
moral level is Inorganic over chaotic. So how could the goal of a moral
system that evolves away from chaos be to evolve towards chaos??? Am I
misreading or misunderstanding something here???

all so Good,
Rick
