dmb said:...The idea here is that DQ is a sense that guides and pulls or pushes in a direction that will improve the situation.
Craig replied: But what if the situation isn't improved? To use an example I've used before, what if you give an electric shock to an infant every time it touches something at 72F, causing it to recoil. Eventually after the electric shocks are no longer applied, the infant will still recoil at everything at 72F just as it recoils at every hot stove, even though in the former case, recoiling does not improve the situation. dmb says:Since it would be criminal and sick to repeatedly give an electric shock to an infant, the situation can be improved by calling the police. Moving from the hypothetical situation to this actual conversation, I'd also try to improve the situation by thinking of better examples. I mean, the imposition of a conditioned response is biological and very static and so its entirely irrelevant to the discussion of DQ. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_allup_1a_explore_042009 Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
