Hi Ron 26 Nov.you cited Platt's:

Then the MOQ would be a philosophic non-starter. and said: > As per our western society is concerned yes it is, in fact our > intellectual level is dominated by it. But let us not make the mistake > of calling SOM the universal intellectual level. If the 4th. level is "dominated by SOM" it means that intellect (supposed to be static) must be a valueless neutral "container" wherein all sorts of thought patterns (supposed to be dynamic) even contradicting ones like the MOQ and SOM . This makes the 4th. level "mind" and in a metaphysics that rejects the mind/matter template it's destructive. > Certainly it leaves out many other ways of making distinctions and > reasoning from them. All sorts of dualisms, not only SOM collect here. > This would cement MoQ as only applicable to our culture, I ask, why > limit it's uses? It's portability is it's beauty. It is Dynamic. Give me some examples of patterns you deem "intellectual" yet, isn't S/O-based.
