Mati,
Bo hammers on a truly pivotal issue, the definition of intellect.
Definitions, are culturally defined. The acknowledged earmarks
of abstract thought in our culture is defined by the Greek inventions
of reason and analytic.
What this means is that the definition of intellect is contextual and may
only be very broadly generalized as abstract thought or the manipulation
of symbols as RMP stated in a universal understanding of the term.
Since we may only really know the human expereince this broad term only
rightly is attributed to the human condition which limits the infinite regress
of the definition skirting any charge of anthropomorphism.
Bo on the other hand, holds the Greek cultural definition as THE universal
definition
of THE human condition, with SOL positing that DQ/SQ is THE fundemental reality
in objective
terms.
I think any serious physicist would laugh at the idea, how would Moq better
describe
the oscillations in fields of energy any better than probability calculations
and theory?
How would this idea create a clearer understanding than the calculations used to
define and account for their observed behaviour? it can't. In fact all this has
already
been achieved within the past 40yrs, the problems faced now are testing these
calculations and theories.
I have credited Bodvar in the past for pointing this out, but he persists in
his own
dream of granduer.

Mati: Ahhh.... the standards. I had talked about creating such
standards to get to the bottom of defining intellect when I was in
Liverpool. I realize that Bodvar’s approach might be a seen as a
distortion, but again personally it speaks to me a truth that provides
a clarity in understanding intellect rather than a distortion. (I
realize that I am in the minority, but my personal integrity and
commitment to what makes sense to me does not allow me to quickly
dismiss SOL until the fat lady of reason stops singing or Bodvar can't
defend (in my mind) the legitimate questions, whichever comes first.
Believe me, for the sake of not ostracizing you and others it would be
far easier to just to let SOL go its own way, but I can't..) I
sincerely believe that how Bodvar understands intellect is the way it
works. The idea that SOM is the basis or father of all that is
intellect and all of the ideas that have been born out or a fallout of
intellect (SOM), including various aspects of mysticism as one
example. Again I am not looking to create disgruntle friends of MOQ
but rather work together to get to the bottom of this intellect mess.
And I wouldn't go as say that Bodvar created the mess as being
"intellectually incompetent" but rather he has turned on a legitimate
light to the general problem, as I see it, with defining intellect
itself.
