Greetings, First, thank you DMB for clarifying the Social Level component of this exchange.
To recap my thinking to this point: My original question (borrowed from Tittivulus) in this thread was: So why not explore the notion of a distinct 's/o experience' as a working hypothesis so you can proceed to explore the various components of such an experience (components, not parts). Wouldn't that be a better, more MOQ'ish method of inquiry? At this point, it seems that the answer is yes. Because in doing so it becomes clear that there are two components to the s/o experience: an Intellectual Level component and a Social Level component. It is a more MOQ'ish hypothesis because the discussion is then centered on experience (value) rather than things, and offers a broader point-of-view. The purpose of the Intellectual Level is to sustain and improve the Social Level. It seems to me that in the past the SOM was an Intellectual pattern that sustained and improved the Social Level. Now the Intellectual Level is promoting an even better improvement by way of the MOQ's value-based perspective. Understood this way, there seems to be no need for a MOQ level. The MOQ, which is an intellectual pattern, is just performing its purpose of improving the Social Level. The main point is the idea of changing the inquiry from one based on SOM (subject/object) to one based on the MOQ (experience) improves the intellectual exploration. Am I making sense? Complete? Incomplete? Any thoughts?
