[MD] The relativity of the MoQ

[MarshaV]

Hi John,

To keep it straight in my tiny skull, I think of intelligence as a process,
an activity, and I associate intellect with a type of abstract pattern from
the Intellectual Level.

While I see that an independent, enduring self is an illusion, I do believe
there is more to an individual than patterns.  There is an awareness that is
separate from patterns.  I can experience it, but I'm not sure how to define
it.

I do not understand what you mean when you talk of truth as related to
intellect, because I associate intellect with a type of abstract pattern.
I'm not sure we are sharing like definitions.  For example, in a given
situation it would be using intelligence to apply the most appropriate
social pattern.  While in the same situation it might be a total lack of
intelligence to apply a intellectual pattern.  Am I making sense?

Biology has the highest value of procreation.  Society worships celebrity
and for any intellectual statement there is no higher value than truth.

Now, in this formulation, an individual contains biological, social and
intellectual patterns, but an individual is more then their patterns.

So I agree with you, that a person's highest value is DQ, but an intellect's
highest value is truth.  Intellect is alienated from experience, whereas a
person is not.  Does that make more sense formulated that way?
