[Platt]
I claim you can answer your questions if you try.
[Arlo]
Sigh. I don't suppose asking you to reflect on WHY you choose to play
such ridiculous evasion games would do any good would it? No. I
didn't think so.
But seriously, if you feel such a need to run from these answers, I
really wonder just how intellectually honest you are being here. And
its THIS that generates so much unnecessary friction here. Even when
I ask you simple, legitimate questions about YOUR claims, you choose
to engage in such uncalled for obfuscation. Why is that? (That is a
rhetorical question)
If you CAN'T answer, or are deliberately concealing your answer to
conceal your position, then I really wonder why you'd make this claim
in the first place. If you CAN'T, then an honest seeker would admit
that, and let questions like these help them build claims they CAN
substantiate.
I know I can answer these questions. I already have. What's apparent
is that YOU can't. And the reason is simple and clear. They are
claims that are nothing but ridiculous when examined closely. Is that
what you are afraid of?
[Arlo repeats his questions, again]
Can you explain the difference (if any) between saying "cells have
intelligence", "man has intelligence" and "Quality has intelligence"?
What does it mean to "have intelligence"?
Also, if "cells have intelligence", where does that intelligence
reside? We localize human intelligence in the neural mass in our
heads (I doubt we'd say an amputee becomes "less intelligent" upon
losing a limb, or that such an operation would impact her/his
"intelligence" at all).
Do you think carbon atoms ever had "intelligence"? Do they now? At
what level does "intelligence" finally disappear. You say that "cells
have intelligence", do you think Ribosomes or Mitochondrion "have
intelligence"? What about more macrotic cellular constructs, does a
stomach or a heart "have intelligence"?
[Arlo adds]
The answer is simple. Neither "Quality" nor "cells" "have
intelligence". If you continue to disagree, please answer the above
questions. Don't waste my time with another evasion. If that's all
you can do, spend some time reflecting on that...
