[David M] I agree with this step further in that our pre-linguistic experiences are far from neutral. They have a quality or value, what we 'notice' always has significance. You could say that this has an evolutionary explanation or you could say that this explains evolution. We always are in relationship with our environoment and fellow occupants of the environment. Relationship means on-going process and change. And this change is never neutral, it is good or bad for us, such is experience as I would describe it.
[Case] Our values are shaped early in our personal histories as our nervous systems mature in infancy and as we gather and integrate experience from the environment. Value at that stage takes perhaps its purest form as we respond to what feels good and what feels bad. The values do change over time but the overall pattern develops very early on. By the time we are adolescents, changes in our patterns of response are rare and difficult to achieve. moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
