Great interview! Thank you, Lorenz and Dr. Johnson!

[@alanjones5639]

A very nice discussion. Good questions. A nice discussion of emergent consciousness - focus, fringe, & field. Values as habits of preference and ways of acting: Need, search, & satisfaction. Science as a high level of this. Parallels in Damasio. Homeostasis and allostasis. [Bring in how we predict.] Better and worse by way of activity. Meaningful engagement with the world. Levels & habits of values, conflicts among values, & harmonizing them with critical reflection. Making our meanings with esthetics. Meaning embodied. Qualitative dimensions. Meaning making with the languages of the arts. Must read the book.
