Bo before: > > Why not just:say that static experience arises from dynamic experience? > > That's the MOQ message. Platt: > But that begs the question, "What does dynamic experience arise from?" Platt, seriously, do you think there are answers to questions like yours above, which is related to ones like "what is outside of space", "what was before time"? > Again we see that when it comes to origins, reason and logic (the > ideology of SOM critical thought) swallows its own tail. ... Or was your purpose simply to prove the impotence of SOM? However I do not think REASON and LOGIC are identical. Reason is truly SOM's "ideology" as you say, but logic is what makes intelligence possible and it (intelligence) works for all levels from biology upwards. Well, even on the inorganic levels because nothing works without 2+2=4. Jeez, are we once agin invoking another "groundstuff", namely LOGIC? A Metaphysics of Logic (MOL) Dynamic/Static logic, inorganic logic, biological logic ... etc.? But as always I think Quality is the mother of them all. > Something else is going on, as Ant says, "a general progressive > direction" or "a creative impulse" that is foreign to "blinkered" > academics "who can't see beyond the creationist/materialist options." Well, all static levels are "blinkered", academy (SOM) or the intellectual level no exception. As a static level the 4th is the highest and best and - dear Platt and dear Anthony - isn't is it about time to stop flogging the S/O split? It is relegate the role of MOQ's 4th. level where it has lost its "M" and safely "caged". What's the problem? [Arlo] > "Does a dog have a Buddha nature?"

For once I agree with Arlo, but if it is from the same premises ??
