Hi Paul
Glad we are making progress. My own personal
habits are an individual form of SQ existing as both
social and intellectual activity/behaviour. So that I would
say that individuality creates and is sustained by SQ patterns
that can be social and intellectual. But I still feel that there
is something worth noting about the need for individuality for
their to emerge an intellectual level. Do we need both levels
and a 'form' for the related agents through which DQ emerges?
thanks for your thoughts
David M
