    Hi squonk (and all),

    Thanks for the very valuable driver's point of view, but I was hoping for
    a more MoQ related response.

    sq: That is an MoQ related response. The relationship between driver and car
    is a relationship between all pattern levels of the car, driver, social
    convention and intellectual in a relationship with Dynamic Quality. The MoQ has
    mundane day to day applications and that is perhaps the most valuable aspect of
    the MoQ itself.

    Maybe I should have stressed on the idea of automatically of patterns more
    than the application of that idea. My driving dilemma is nothing but an
    excuse to dig deeper into the idea of static intellectual patterns
    becoming automatic as we become proficiant in them. We all have probably
    heard the statement:

        "It's like riding a bike. Once you learn it, you never forget."

    To me that says "Once a static intellectual pattern becomes too static (if
    there is such a thing), it is not an intellectual pattern anymore".
    Psychologists would probably say that the "sub-conscious" is responsible
    for this, but I don't value that term.

    sq: A mundane and useful application of MoQ thought would be: 'stay alert and
    be open for new experience' because if you slip into automatic pilot then you
    may not notice the weather is bad, the road is wet, the light is not on green
    as it has been 90% of the time, oh shit i'm in hospital with whiplash.
    Its called a value trap - forgetting the expected. Language is a good example
    of filtering out what is not worth noticing and what is to be noticed.

    I would be interested to know the forums' thoughts on this phenomenon.

    Cheers,

    - Pi
