[Dan] The electrical impulses in the brain are like the novel on the computer disk. No matter what scientific instruments we use to measure the impulses, we will never find a thought or an idea. We will never discover the beauty of a sunset residing in those electrical impulses.
[Krimel] So the patterns on a printed page would never reveal a thought or idea either? I use scientific instruments like bifocals to find ideas in both books and computer screens. I even have a scientific instrument in the form of a program that will read the digital version to me. The beauty of sunsets does not reside on the evening horizon either. But even the somewhat limited brain imaging technology we have now, could reveal that someone was having a high or a low Quality experience. [Dan] I think the MOQ would say people define ideas and thoughts according to culture. Ideas and thoughts do not arise from biology (elecctrical impulses in the brain). Thoughts (intellectual patterns of value) arise from social patterns of value. [Krimel] I think that the MoQ would say that ideas can be represented in any number of forms including patterns of electro-chemical impulses in the brain.
