Arlo,
You have a certain correctness here but it misses my point I think.

John:
"an experience of Quality" in the way I meant it, has the connotation of a
concomitant experience of pleasure. A good feeling, as well as a pedantic
correctness. Peace of mind is not an inconsequential byproduct of the
metaphysical process - it's the whole thing in the MoQ.

John:
And redundancies are not high quality experience, right? They're sort of
boring, in fact. That's why the term redundant carries a pejorative
connotation. But I'm thinking then, by using the term "experience of
Quality" in the way that I do, I'm pointing at that phrase in a way which
transcends the redundancy, due to the connotations of the phrase. If I say
a movie or book or conversation (or a dog) was "an experience of quality",
then you get what I mean in a way that is more than mere metaphysical
definition of experience. You get that I mean it was subjectively to me, a
good experience - I enjoyed it. "That's a good dog" is a statement of
layered meaning, in this conversational context.
Arlo:
Describing a metaphysics is part of real, lived experience.

John:
Yes, it is... and yet it isn't. In some ways, intellectual descriptions of
experience are sort of avoidance of "real, lived experience". It's more
along the lines of a menu rather than the food.
I guess this point is only as important as you are how hungry you are.
I sort of am.
Yours,
John
