The thing that makes humans unique is the ability to process DQ in an

Agree.

[J]
The first self-reflective faculty of this capability is
the Emotions.  Emotions are unique in that they are DQ only.  Love is DQ and
only described by analogy.

[P]
"The MOQ sees emotions as a biological response to quality and not the same 
thing as quality.  There are many cases, particularly in economic activity 
where values occur without any emotion." (LC, NOte 141)

[J]
I have no idea how to describe a social level in
terms of DQ/SQ. 

[P]
SQ at the social level is the Giant. DQ is accessible at this level so long as 
SOL, with its absence of the concept of DQ, doesn't to try guide the Giant. 

[J]
Intellect is defined as SOL (thanks BO) DQ/SQ.  Higher
emotional and higher intellectual levels are also DQ only, the purview of
heroes.
 
[P}
DQ is the purview of all who pursue the Conceptually Unknown in order "to  
bring something out of that unknown into a static form that would be of value 
to everyone." (SODV)  I agree such individuals are heroes.
