[MD] QRE: The 4th. level's two interpretations. Par

Bo:
Squonk is lost as always. SOM emerged as told in ZAMM and the 
"cosmologists" - represented by Socrates and Plato - were its budding 
objectivists. Read ZAMM for chrissake!

Hi Bo,
The Cosmologists thought many years prior to Socrates (469 - 399 BC) and Plato (428 - 348 BC).
Thales of Miletus (624 - 546 BC) died over a hundred years before Socrates was born, and yet, Thales was predicting Solar eclipse.
That skill utilised intellectual patterns prior to the emergence of SOM, and at a time when it is conjectured that Humans may have not experiences self consciousness (Homer, 850BC).
Similarly, Pythagoras (570 - 495 BC).

You have not had the courtesy to correspond with me directly regarding the evidence for the existence of intellectual patterns prior to the emergence of SOM, and yet you use ad hominem attacks to a third party upon the subject in a different thread.

I here propose that Horse may consider introducing a forum rule which discourages this form evasion in order to encourage a higher quality of debate.

All the best,
squonk
