Hi
Actually this is enough. Coupled with my reading of "From Knowledge to
Wisdom" by Nicholas Maxwell and he cleaned up all my misunderstanding of
"depend" and "discrete" Basically he said something like the upper level
always depends on the patterns and laws of the lower but the upper levels
laws are discrete in that they never apply to the lower. Duh.
I think I missed something here. I agree with his idea about depend and
discrete, but the "duh" came a little unexpected.
But much more importantly the whole book now that I'm in to it a bit is his
attempt (quite apart from the MoQ although ZaMM does get two mentions) to
answer just the questions about the intellectual level I ask above.
According to him it is a much deeper and more difficult question than I or
any of us here have imagined. So it is no wonder why you, I, Bo, RMP all
have a different opinion of what should rise to the intellectual level. The
problem according to him is in the empirical method itself.
That was also a bit cryptic. Would you mind elaborating on the empirical method
problem? I actually don't think the intellectual level is such as mystery. The
mystery comes along when you start involving "me"s and "I"s, but those include
much more than just static intellectual patterns.
