Hello Magnus.
 
On 28 March you included the following in a response to Bo.

It may or may not be the same thing.  It all depends on perspective.
Experiencing the ball, say by catching it, is not the same thing as
remembering the experience.  However, according to science both
experiences evoke identical physical changes in the brain.  From the
perspective of the electro-chemical processes in the brain there is no
difference between catching the ball and remembering catching the
ball.  And I suppose it's this phenomenon, the ability of the brain to
"create reality," that's behind the question, "what's missing?"
 
In my opinion, what's missing in the MoQ is a caveat to all comers
that the Metaphysics of Quality is not reality.
 
On the other hand maps of reality are good and necessary things.
And the better the map the better its usefulness.
 
My problem with the MoQ map is that it places intellect at the top of
the value hierarchy as if to say individual human existence is the
most valuable form of existence.
 
In my opinion individual human existence is an oxymoron.  And it's
not real.
