[Platt] Thus, atoms once were able to respond to DQ but no longer can. Similarly, animals could once but no longer can.
[Arlo] Did these animals have "free will"? Give me an example from any understanding of animal science as to a behavior or ability animals had when the could respond to DQ that they can no longer do. Were all animals able to respond to DQ at some point? Or just a select few? Take "cats", go as far back into paleohistory as you need, was there ever a "cat" that could respond to DQ? If so, what was it able to do? Give me some evidence (or just speculate) about something that DQ-cats "did" that they can no longer "do". Also, speculate, when did animals "lose" the ability to respond to DQ? Did they suddenly lose this ability when "man" appeared? Did DQ-animals in North America lose this ability when DQ-man appears for the first time in Africa? Or was there an overlap, a time when on this planet there were DQ-animals and man coexisting? For me, cats were always "cats". They did not have some DQ-ability and then lose it. They could always, as they do today, respond to DQ from within the constraints and affordances of their biological boundedness (and given their complexity within that level, for example, a "cat" has a greater repertoire of responses to DQ than an amoeba, but both are limited by not having social or intellectual existences).
