Yes. > The latter is > value perceived from the intellectual level. MOQ's basic > postulate is Experience=Quality, not Experience=Consciousness. Since experience presupposes consciousness whether in the MOQ sense or SOM sense, I would say Experience=Consciousness=Quality. But, never mind. No need to quibble over words. We agree that consciousness is value-perception. If we could get everyone to see that light, much controversy would fade away and the value of the MOQ as a description of reality would become more evident.
