Interesting - clearly I too have an evolutionary view - memetic as well as genetic - of individual human lives.
The 4 level MoQ maps very well to Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. clearly - physical, biological, social and kinda "intellectual" - intellectual in the individual freedom sense, not limited to objective forms of rationality. Been a fan of Maslow for many years, since before I read Pirsig, but revisited Maslow quite recently. http://www.psybertron.org/?p=3907 Ian On Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Jan-Anders Andersson <[email protected] > wrote: > Hi Steve > > I think RMP's statement intention was that Biography has the same time > factor in it as the evolution through the 4 levels.
