Stephen, Squonk & MoQ Discuss.
I have discussed the Quality idea at these moq.org sites for ever it
seems, and have heard/seen names dropped (none mentioned
none forgotten) all supposed to say the same as Pirsig or their
ideas to have some bearing on the Quality Metaphysics. Nothing
wrong with this, let me just ramble on a little.
In the sixties I was fascinated by Relativity and read everything
about that, later I got hooked on Quantum Physics and read
everything available on quantum-related stuff; for instance Danah
Zohar and her Einstein-Bose condensate as the site of
consciousness. I also looked into the many theories forwarded to
reconcile experience with the quantum strangeness. Multiverses,
wormholes ....etc, but the Quality Metaphysics relieved me from
the science folly.
I hope I don't sound quasi-religious, it's not that retro-kind of relief
the MoQ offers (and I have not stopped reading science magazines
completely), but it has somehow gone the scientific path all the
way and landed in a new territory. You (Stephen and Squonk) may
not have been with the discussion for very long (or looked into old
posts) but I guess you have some basic knowledge about the
MoQ, the point is that I have come to regard the intellectual level
as the crux. Most people tend to look upon it as consciousness or
MIND (of what Pirsig calls SOM) but it should rather be regarded
as the mind/matter division itself. The very idea of a subject
observing an objective world. REASON!!!
This is where the MoQ takes leave of everything previously
conceived of. We seem to be the stuck in the picture that we
perceive the world from some "God's eye view", but in the MoQ
there is no upper limit to the Q-evolution and a development above
the Intellect may well be possible. So now, Squonk, you possibly
see what I am up to: If Intellect isn't consciousness/awareness
(mind) then a development out-of-intellect is no supermind.
Quantum-computed or not.
Enough for now.
Bo
