David M, If you think of memories as "something that is within", then yes, basic needs are memories. Basic needs are tendencies/preferences/values, based on output rather than input (which is experience). Since both input and output are associated with memory, you can say basic needs are associated with memory.
Krimel, *How would you describe this unre-cognised aspect of experience?* As I said, the moment of novelty in experience is pure Dynamic Quality. The moment you describe it, it becomes attached to static patterns. As Pirsig informs (rather pessimistically) that DQ is "out of our reach", and so we have to "settle for something less pure". About your third question, I suppose there is a whole hierarchy of values for an individual being. Apart from that, if you are referring to qualia, that is a big debate. Dennett totally refused to accept qualia in his book. There's no real way to know, except on a hardware level of the brain. -- Akshay On 5/13/07, David M <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Krimel > > Are basic needs memories? > > David M > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Krimel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2007 12:10 AM > Subject: Re: [MD] Are qualities memories? > > > > [David M] > > When we experience qualities are these a form of memory? > > > > [Krimel] > > Speaking from my own experience I remembers some things and not others. > > This > > does not seem to be a function of quality but them I don't pay attention > > much of the time. > > > > [David M] > > Why do we value experiences differently? > > > > [Krimel] > > Experiences that satisfy basic needs tend to get valued the most then > > experiences that lead to the satisfaction of basic needs.
