[MD] Heads or tails?

[David M]

Hi Case

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.
