[Platt] I look for DQ responses strictly from humans probing the aesthetic unknown...
[Arlo] Since you've said that "animals and plants used to be able to respond to DQ", does that mean that animals and plants were at one time able to "probe the aesthetic unknown"? What about molecules? Could they probe the aesthetic unknown? If not, then how did cats and ferns exhibit DQ responses, when they were able to respond to DQ? Since they were able to respond to DQ at some point, which would mean they had a specific behavioral ability they lost, what was the nature of this behavioral ability? If you place a prehistoric DQ-cat next to a modern-day Non-DQ-cat, what differences would you observe? Any? None? Would we be able to observe differences at the molecular level? I mean, you've said in reply that the cat's "molecules could respond to DQ". What would that prehistoric's cat's molecules be doing differently than our modern day cat's? Anything? Nothing? The obvious answer to this is that we would observe no difference, either in cat-behavior or by the cat's molecules. Then, as now, both the cat and the cat's molecules could and can respond to DQ within the range of the repertoire of action afforded and constrained by their evolutionary level and complexity. Unless you can suggest some differences... any?... any at all?... I didn't think so. But go ahead and call me a name or two, maybe no one will notice...
