Greetings, How in the world does the TAO relate to the MOQ? That patterns (inorganic, biological, social & intellectual) are what they are! Are they evolving and interrelated (conditional) patterns? Yes? But beyond that, what is to be done? What does the MOQ suggest an individual do? SA's poetry seems the best thread of actual purpose on the forum. And there are many other random patterns of interest. Occasionally Dan shares his beautiful words with us. But not enough. Others offer insight.
Btw, is there a definition for intelligence, intellect and the composition of the Intellectual Level yet? What can be done? What can I (this constellation of ever-changing, inter-related static patterns of value) do? What can one contribute to this forum in a meaningful way? There's Ghostbusters. Should there be Patternbusters? Does anything really mean anything? Really?
