[Arlo had asked] Was there ever a single animal that could respond to DQ? [Platt] Yes.
[Arlo] Okay. Now we are getting somewhere. For clarity, let's call this single animal "Animal X". "Animal X" is a single animal that sometime back in history, lets call this "Time X", could indeed respond to DQ. [Arlo then asked] What is an example of something it could do "then" (when it could respond to DQ) that it can no longer do? [Platt] It died. [Arlo] Are you suggesting that, as a result of being responsive to DQ, "Animal X" could die, but UTOE, who is not able to respond to DQ, can't? The question here is give me an example of something Animal X could do, as a result of being responsive to DQ, that UTOE (and other animals today) can no longer do. [Arlo had asked] Could ALL single animals at one point in time respond to DQ? Was it only particular "species"? Or only certain individuals within a species? [Platt] An individual. [Arlo] Let's go back to Time X. There is Animal X over by the tree. In this time, could all other single animals also respond to DQ? Was it only some of the single animals, while other single animals could not? Was it all other animals like Animal X (if Animal X was a sabretooth, does that mean all individual sabertoothes could respond to DQ)? Let me pose a reframe (but please answer the original as well). Would you say that ALL humans can respond to DQ? So that even a human infant, left at birth on a deserted island and miraculously surviving into adulthood, would also respond to DQ? This would seem to make it a biological trait that enabled responsiveness ot DQ. If not, what would it be? [Arlo had asked] Did all animals lose their ability to respond to DQ when "man" popped up? If no, why? If so, how? [Platt] All animals? No. [Arlo] So there was an overlap when "man" existed, that both individual humans and individuals animals could respond to DQ? [Platt] No. There is evolution in both the social and intellectual levels, and possibly in man's biology as it becomes connected to computers. [Arlo] To clarify, evolution has stopped regarding all things except "man"? 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/
