Hi Marsha
RMP's distinction in the Inorganic, the Biologic, the Social and the
Intellectual level is just the answer of this question: In who's interest?
Anything thats not in the interest of the inorganic, the biologic or the
social is therefore in the interest of the intellectual level. Or in the
interest of the DQ itself. Languages, norms, traditions, values etc, as
static or dynamic pieces of quality.
My car broke down on monday, my horse got sick on tuesday, wednesday evening my
daughter came home drunk, today my son bought an iPhone and I have to read
through all the fineprint to help him how to install it. Tomorrow we'll have a
new years party and we are out of beer and one of the guest are an active
buddhist that refuses to eat the grilled fillet of beef... is this quality?
Sure it is:-)
Happy New Year Ladies and Gentlemen!
PS Here is a nice portrait of the whole MD group, you guess who's who.

Hi Platt,
I know. It's so ingrained and habitual it is almost impossible to see it. My
second realization on this subject came when my grandson was very small
and just learning his first words. He was so sweet. I took him outside on a
beautiful summer day to introduce him to his yard. "These are flowers.
These are leaves. This is a branch. This is a tree trunk. And this whole big
thing is a tree. And there's another." OMG! I was indoctrinating him into our
subject-object world view. Will I ever have the chance to put him and all
these things back together again?
Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses and all the king's men, Couldn't put Humpty back together
again.
