Rasheed,
I would disagree with your statement that looking for a way to 'permanently
experience DQ' contradicts the idea of DQ. Perhaps I'm wrong here, I'm
just working this idea, but instinctively I would say that although living
entirely on the edge of DQ would be completely fruitless, the

What I would like to find out is *why* it is considered that there is no

Hi Jonathan,
many thanks for your adjustments on my post. Hope you forgive my naiveness.
You are touching on something that I haven't yet addressed
in a previous post, and now force me to reveal a key
physical point in my proposed essay: Entropy HAS no upper
limit - it just goes on
even if entropy has no upper limit, isn't there a point where it will have
increased sufficiently to have extinguished life, admittedly the universe
will continue on but thats small comfort to a one sun solar system if life
as we know it dies out.Dynamic Quality is evolution and the threat of
Hi Sam and all,
What I love about this forum is that everything gets questioned, and I find
myself repeatedly called upon to reconsider and clarify my position, often
with unexpected rewards.

Hi Jonathan, Elephant, Roger, Glenn and All:
Jonathan, I reread your essay *The End of Causality* in searching for
an answer to my question how novel qualities arise from the
rearrangement of elements that in themselves lack these qualities. In
doing so I was reminded that your answer is that

Andi,
The music example is in chapter 9 of Lila, p 134-5. It's a good thing i mark
my book with rubber bands and arby's mints. as for what you said, i think i
may have been a little unclear with my assertion. First of all, i do believe
that the idea of DQ is always there, waiting to be

If you are interested in following this topic further, you might try to
obtain The Void by A. H. Almaas (the pen name for Hameed Ali). This is a
rather challenging book if you are not used to a mystic point of view, but

Dear Glen,
I don't mind to agree to disagree with
you on the value of drug use. I have no strong opinions on it and wouldn't even
mind much to call a retreat if someone explained to me that drug use is
essential to create certain higher-level-valuable phenomena, of which

Hello All!
And thank you for the Bohm quote.
I like Bohm.
I am not such a big fan of the, 'Multiverse' view of quantum mechanics.
However, here is a challenge from David Deutsch:
To predict that future quantum computers, made to a given specification, will
work in the ways I have described,

Gerhard,
I quite agree with
you that music is definitely a static pattern of quality, no no danger
there. I wonder though if psychedelic music would have been invented
without the use of pschyedelic substances? Perhaps but perhaps not.
I think this underscores my
