[MD] Reading & Comprehension

[Andre Broersen]

Hi to all you weak minded,

Another thing just occurred to me: ZMM is a reminder of what we have 
lost. I remember, in ZMM Phaedrus talks about and reflects on the little 
patches of grass in front of people's homes. He'd rather they were not 
there because they remind him of what has been lost...the addition to 
those contributing factors of disconnection and isolation from (our) nature.

Find ourselves in technology? In motorcycle maintenance?

Yes. We need to. This points to evolutionary adaptation. But we cannot 
deny our in/organic patterns. As the MOQ states: 'What is the purpose of 
all this intellectual knowledge? And the answer is unequivocal: To 
dynamically improve and preserve society ( and what is society founded 
upon?). And I would emphasise the 'improve' bit. ( e.g ridding itself of 
religious crap and so called scientific 'objective' crap...both spheres 
within which the political/economic system is hopelessly lost).

This entire idea of 'opposition' and 'dominance' of one level over 
another needs to be seen within the MOQ context and not the SOM context. 
This makes one hell of a difference with regards to how you give 
expression to this. SOM has this eternal 'opposition' whilst the MOQ 
talks about blending/ controlling/binding-within-mutual understanding, 
not forgetting your parents, not endangering the static in favour of the 
dynamic, or not allowing the dynamic in favour of (degenerating) the 
static, etc etc. By the way, this has little to do with not speaking the 
same language... it has to do with 'understanding' from a higher 
evolutionary perspective.

The MOQ has provided us with the basis of this understanding and 
suggested a guiding principle 'as old as the world'.

Anyway, I just wanted to suggest a 'return to the roots' as it were, 
which I found in ZMM and which was worked out in some detail in LILA.

Ps: reality is a usefull, conventional concept. There a two 
perspectives. DQ/SQ.The one is statically 'lived' the other is 
dynamically 'experienced'. Need we know more? And what is good Phaedrus...?
