    Hi DMB

    Yes, isn't it rather clever/intelligent how DQ
    makes what is better have a superior quality?
    I think Scott's point is that recognising quality
    requires intelligence in this sense.

    I hear writers talk about this sort of thing all the time. They talk about
    how it is the ego-mind or monkey-mind that has to do all the research,
    editing and re-writing. But when the research has been done and the
    creativity begins, they stop talking about it in terms of writing and start
    talking about it in terms of listening to the characters they've created.
    The people in the play tell the writer what they are going to say and do
    within the story. And I think its pretty clear that this just one example of
    how people hang on to the cutting edge of experience, even the ongoing
    experience of thought itself. The creative scientists are not so different.
    Einstein and Poincare had to go to school and do their work, they had to use
    their ego monkey minds to get to the point where creativity could then be
    used. In both cases the choices are infinite, but somehow, not through a
    process of elimination or any other logical selection process, BAM, one just
    seems right. Pirisg's distinction is not invented out of thin air. It refers
    to actual experience that people have all the time.

    Thanks.
