[MD] Chance v. Dynamic Quality

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Platt]
"Absence of complete knowledge," i.e., ignorance

[Arlo]
So DQ is ignorance. Okay. I'll buy that.

[Platt]
Few responses to change and uncertainty are DQ responses..

[Arlo]
"[Dynamic] Quality IS the response of the organism to its 
environment." (ZMM, emphasis added).

[Platt]
Most are static responses from one's social and intellectual patterns...

[Arlo]
HOW we respond is always constrained (and enabled) by the static 
patterns of which we are comprised. There is no such thing as a 
"static response". There IS such a thing as a "probable response", a 
response to DQ that is so likely to occur that we see it as a "static pattern".


"Static response". Ai yi yi...

[Platt]
If horror, disgust or dread is involved, the likely source is a 
social or intellectual pattern reacting to a biological pattern

[Arlo]
Ah, right DQ only produces Cezanne's and concertos. Sadly, though, 
this is not true. DQ also produces plane crashes and volcanic 
eruptions and plague outbreaks and meteors crashing into us and 
zepplin's exploding and boats sinking and cancer and strokes and 
famine and pestilence.

"Horror, disgust or dread" are perspectives from a human 
point-of-view. Nothing more. Certainly not anything "DQ" would be 
concerned with.
