"Not inseperable" as in seperable. As in the exact opposite of the idea you
are pushing. So no, you do not agree.

And you are not attached to your idea?


Make no mistake, I'm fairly attached to my ideas. But I am also willing to
drop that idea if given a better one. I am capable of letting ideas go if
they prove unworkable. I wonder how you answer the charge that this One idea
you have has almost completely blocked you off from DQ? never mind, I'm
pretty sure I'd know how you'd answer. Just do me this one favour and really
think about that, don't just decide it's wrong and move on with your idea.
Step back, think about the idea, think about how it pins you down. I doubt
you will, and I doubt it'll do anything if you do. But it's worth a shot.

When everybody has the same idea and unable to get new ideas, that's
> not static?


You're putting two ideas together that have no real correlation. Everybody
having the same idea, and no one getting new ideas are two seperate events
that are linked only occasionally. If everybody agreed with Your idea, and I
assure you that the vast majority of the public does, then yes, it does
block them from new ideas. For all your individual talk, you're idea is
Straight out of the SOM mythos. It has almost no relation whatsoever to the
MOQ.

I dunno why I even bother with logic, you'll probably just sidestep the
whole thing.

This idea of yours is a wall. This ideas has you so wrapped up in it, that
it has completely stopped the ability of new ideas to supplant it. Oh sure!
Maybe in other ways intellectual DQ can reach you, but I assume you're as
close minded about the correctness of the rest of your ideas too.

If you can't listen to reasonm you can't listen to logic, you can't make
proper arguments, you can't adapt to new situations, then you have lost the
DQ that once drove your thoughts. You're stuck in a rut, unable to move
forward or back, Static Quality is what you have.
