Hi Dave, Matt said: If I want to always be following DQ as much as possible, how do I know whether I'm dimly apprehending Dynamic Quality or apprehending dimly with static patterns?
DMB said: You're asking about following DQ and how that differs from the following the static or conceptual, right? ... To the extent that one is controlled by static patterns, one is stuck. To the extent that one follows DQ, one never gets stuck. Matt: Okay, so is "stuckness" the only criterion for being "controlled by static patterns"? Are you saying that if you never feel "stuck" you are, ipso facto, following DQ? Are there not self-confident people who never feel stuck? Isn't "stuckness" a function of being self-conscious about a problem having arisen, a function of a seed of doubt? Wouldn't you never feel stuck if you never doubted the static patterns handed to you through acculturation? Isn't the inability to feel stuck the smug serenity we despise occasionally in the faith-based spiritualist? I'm not sure you offered another criterion for knowing whether you are being controlled by the static/conceptual other than stuckness in your comparative list of pragmatist vocabularies, but I'm not sure how well it works.
