[MD] The other side of Value

[Joseph Maurer]

Hi Mark and all,

I do not agree that psychology is a metaphysics.  Psychology is a
metaphysics only by analogy.  Psychology is the discipline for studying the
manifestations of sentient beings.

Metaphysics is the study of order, including psychology. Evolution is a
description of levels in existence. Heroic enlightenment is beyond the usual
psychological levels and posits evolution to higher emotional and higher
intellectual levels for intelligibility.

The definition for 1 at an intellectual level, does not deny further levels
in the evolution of consciousness to higher emotional and higher
intellectual levels, the purview of heroes.
