Hi Steve, I'm in an answering mood and on a roll. You'll be #3 for your excellent questions:

How could we behave so as to perceive more > or less of it? If dynamic quality is the leading edge of experience, > how does anyone _not_ perceive it? John: I think the answer is, they choose not to perceive it. And I don't just mean that they choose to watch tv rather than read ZAMM, I mean they choose for themselves, some source of values to serve and then forget that they made a choice or even have a choice. Steve: > Why does he see perception rather > than will as the key to human freedom where most philosophers of the > past have been concerned with a particular sort of the capacity to > choose? John: Well rather than specifically asking why, I'd ask whether. Whether 'tis better to approach the problem from one direction or the other. In my view, postulating Will begs the question of freedom rather than really solving it, whereas Will is a perception so it makes more sense to me to make perception fundamental. Steve: > Unfortunately, rather than shed light one the matter, for me > this quote just muddles things further. > > Best, > Steve > <http://moq.org/md/archives.html> > Well I can't tell you how often that happens to me, so I feel for you. But hopefully in the plentitude of words, something will make sense.
