Geez,
Steve,
I
didn’t know that morphs COULD resonate.
What
on earth are you talking about?
What Dave just said in description of Sheldrake's theory of
"morphic resonance"... a resonant coupling amongst things which
have the same morphology (shape). In your case, you and Dave
apparently have similar "intellectual resonant chambers" which, in
this treatment "begin to resonate" as you spend enough time
"coupling" (in conversation).
Following the analogy (stronger/more-formal than a metaphor I
propose), when you "couple" with others who you end up disagreeing
with, I suspect it starts out a bit like a barbershop quartet...
one member hitting a tone and another following by hitting the
same tone, but as the progression gets more complex, the
*differences* in your tonality starts to expose itself as
dissonances. I credit you "harmonizing" with Dave in this (and
perhaps other) instance to Dave for *trying* to help you find the
same note (as I am here).
The Nick and Frank show (e.g. recent analogy to train conductors)
seems to be a deliberate study/applicatoin in dissonance... one of
you hits a note and the other intuitively (or with great
intellectual effort) factors the composing frequencies of that
note and responds with a new note that has *none* or *few* of the
same composing frequencies, generating a complex set of beat
frequencies anew. I don't know how much this type of deliberate
dissonance is used in echolocating creatures (bats, cetaceans,
???) but finding *dissonance* seems potentially *more useful* than
resonance in some cases?

Interesting,
David. With most people I find that if we talk long
enough, we disagree; with you it mostly works the other
way. Thank you.

Looks like a case of morphic resonance to
me!
