Bo On 9 May:
Bo had said: "Thinking" in the intelligence sense has been with the Q-evolution since the biological neural network facilitated storing of experience, its retrieval and manipulation along logical "gates". The Greeks began using intelligence along the S/O pattern because "philosophy" necessarily is a search for objective truth, thus if the Orientals had their philosophical era (the Upanishads not Vedic) before the Greeks they also had their intellectual era. However they didn't settle there (like the Occidentals) but passed on to a Quality-like stage. Ron; The search for objective truth starts with the formation of Logical rules. Certainty in meaning must be established. SOM begins with the establishment of grammatical logic Which Breaks experience into subjects and objects creating A propositional statement. Its all to build the foundation for a rational argument In which to establish "truth" in a standardized paradigm. I venture to think that because the Greeks had democratic Republics, logical arguments were central to government And decision making. It became the dominant form of Argument because nothing could stand before its logic. The sophists were at a loss to establish the kind of certainty That analytical dialectic could produce. But in the East the Indic society was ruled by kings and the decisions were made by the Monarchy. (correct me if I am wrong anyone). Therefore analytic logic Did not take off like the Greek version did. This coupled With the establishment of the university which allowed lay persons to acquire this sort of method where Indic versions Were probably held to the royal court. And passed with The fall of empires. Modern western Philosophy is built on propositional Logical statements from our court system and government, to scientific method, all based on that first descriptive rule that nouns are either subject or object in meaning establishing possession of the statement. Subjective statements being the more difficult to establish logical possession and must be objectified to do so. Therefore all logical statements are objective statements that can be falsifiable. This is our method of truth finding. Leading to the assumption that all truth is objective.
