[MD] The Quality/MOQ dichotomy

[X Acto]

Bo:
Right, as an organism you perceive biological quality by SENSING, 
as a social being you perceive EMOTIONS and as an intellectual 
being you perceive REASON  

And that's as much as I manage. 

Ron:

Reason as commonly understood in western culture, is the use of analytics. 
Analytics is a particular method of abstract thought
which utilizes rules and axioms of operation. Axioms are assumed as true and are
the basis for the system of operation. The worth or merit being in the correlation
of the predictions it provides with expereince.

Reason, is defined in many ways by many cultures.

Reason is explaination, The basis or motive for an action, decision, or conviction.

The stoics argued that emotions emerge from reason and are controlable, that sensual
pain and reflexive stimuli are filtered through reason generating emotion. We must
ask our selves, does anger arise from pain? or does anger arise from the reflection
of relexive pain. Reflection being a universal earmark of abstract thought or intellect
in human expereince.
Questions worth looking into.
