Hi Bo
> this stems from the MOQ not being
known in general and that some alleged moqists not having grasped
what its 3rd. level is about, namely a liberation from the biological
level. Magnus the star example of a misconceived social level.
Then perhaps you can tell me what you think is wrong in my reasoning from my
essay? You stuck your head in the sand the last time (22/9).
------------------- snip -------------------------------
And about "former level's limitations", I wrote the below section about that in
my essay. I'd say your "escape from the former level's limitations" is rather
single-minded.
"When levels are compared, they are often seen as opposed to each other. It's
always this combat between the lower and higher levels and the higher is always
supposed to grab the moral victory. But no thought have ever been given to how
the higher level pattern got started in the first place. For example the social
pattern family would never have been created without the biological pattern
lust. But even so, these two patterns are always described to be in direct
opposition to each other. It's of course true that lust to another can destroy a
family, but it is often forgotten that this same lust also was the initial spark
that got the family started in the first place. This is also true for all other
social patterns; this is the biological level setting the stage for the social.
They all got started because a biological urge happened to result in a socially
valuable structure. A city got started next to a creek because someone needed
the water for farming, then a hardware store came along to provide tools for the
farmer(s), and then I'll let Mark Knopfler continue with some lines from
“Telegraph Road” by Dire Straits:
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road"
