[Bo] the levels had to establish themselves before a new dynamic "charge" could be made, yet the anti-parent tendency is what sets the MOQ apart, thus the anti-social aspect of intellect is what counts and makes it so difficult for you to grasp the SOL ....and the anti-SOM aspect of the MOQ.
[Arlo] I don't "grasp" the SOL because it is mired with nonsense. This paragraph ranks up there (slightly behind your next). What "anti-parent tendency" are you talking about? [Bo] Intellect - the level - is the VALUE of the S/O distinction, but before the Quality context was revealed through the MOQ its built-in tendency to quell social value went amok, its S/O became existence's fundament, hence SOM. [Arlo[ So SOM is "S/O run amok"? And the intellectual level was, basically, "broken" until some inevitable higher level of evolution would form to "fix" it? What other MOQ levels are like this? Was society broken until intellect came along to fix it? Was biology broken until society showed up? The "value of the S/O" distinction is a biological one, if any. The sensation of "self" apart from "world" can realistically be traced to a neural mass receiving input from nerves. As I said to Marsha, experiments on animals (as horrific as they were) revealed that injury to the brain led animals to become unable to differentiate "their body" from "not their body", leading to self-cannabalism, etc. Biological patterns learn early on what other patterns are connected to their nerve-net, and from this basis respond to the world evidencing S/O value.
