Dan: I have repeatedly explained that it is better to be consistent with the MOQ than not. You are not being consistent by claiming we can follow static quality patterns and have free will. That is not what the MOQ says. Ron: yet you still have not provided a logical chain of meaning and continue to avoid the question: what are the consequences if one or the other point of view were held to be true? > Ron: > How does static behavior having no choice, explain the ability of > making high quality judgments? Dan: It is a response to Dynamic Quality. Ron: How can we respond to dynamic quality when we have no choice but to follow static patterns of quality. > > Ron: > How is the statement: >> "If chemistry professors exercise choice, and chemistry professors >> are composed exclusively of atoms, then it follows that atoms must >> exercise choice too."-Lila > > Consistent with your point of view? Dan: "The reason atoms become chemistry professors has got to be that something in nature does not like laws of chemical equilibrium or the law of gravity or the laws of thermodynamics or any other law that restricts the molecules' freedom. They only go along with laws of any kind because they have to, preferring an existence that does not follow any laws whatsoever." [LILA} Dan comments: Atoms exercise Dynamic choice. They only follow static quality patterns because they have to. They prefer an existence that is free. This is consistent with the framework of the MOQ. Ron: So do chemistry professors, thats called freedom. They follow static patterns because it is better to do so. But they still have the freedom not to follow static patterns they have the freedom to choose to follow dynamic choice.
