[MD] Dans Bitterness over Betterness

[X Acto]

Horse had said:
You're making the classic mistake here equating illusion with non-existence.
Illusions exist - they just aren't what we assume they are. They are 
representations of reality, not reality itself.
Static patterns are all about illusions - DQ is a release from illusions, the 
cutting edge of the real.
Static patterns are the fallout of DQ - an echo of the real.
So when you insist that free-will is real, based upon static patterns, you are 
equating the illusion with the reality it represents.
Static patterns are how we deal with reality.
SQ is not DQ.

Ron:
It would seem that way at first, as I percieved Dan using the term, it gave the 
effect of non existence,
that static patterns of value have no choice, that "choice" is in reality non 
existent.
I agree that all static patterns are illusions, illusions being a distortion, 
exaggeration or simplification
of a "reality" but that does not mean that it does not exist. 
However I disagree that DQ is a release from illusion. If static patterns are 
how we deal, percieve and
experience then all we may ever understand of DQ is going to be a static 
representation.

Doesent it then make sense to carefully derrive the primary meaning of DQ in 
static terms? Arent we
debating the intellectual meaning of the term as it functions within a larger 
philosophical system of thought? 


SQ is DQ, but when used as explanitory terms within the context of evolution in 
a MoQ yes, they must have
difference in meaning. When we explain WHY some things are better than others, 
we say that they
are more dynamic, they are more moral than exclusive rigid unchanging static 
dogma.
In this context SQ and DQ denote types of good. What is happening is that there 
is a move from
one context to another in the paragraph Dan is quoting from, but no one is 
really pointing that out.

Except me of course.
