    Hi David

    David said:
    Do you think a fish knows that the world exists?

    Paul:
    That isn't what I said, knowledge and experience is not the same thing.
    Does a fish experience the world? Yes.

    A human being is not just SQ.

    Paul:
    I didn't say it was.

    David said:
    A human being is full of potential (i.e. open to DQ). The emergence of
    DQ and its becoming SQ takes place when a human being makes 1 of its
    possibilities actual and thereby negating many other possibilities. Like
    chosing one lover and rejecting the others. In fact each morning you
    choose to stay with the same lover. Is this not how SQ builds up. SQ is
    the point where you just do it and cease seeing that you have a choice.
    Every morning we get up and keep the SQ of society and culture going but
    the DQ reality of possibility is that we could choose not to. Any nearer
    any sense?

    Paul:
    Yes, and also nearer to what I've been saying all along, the
    "individuality" Platt defends is Dynamic Quality not a static level.

    Cheers

    Paul
