Dear Bo,
You wrote 3/9 9:59 +0200:
'In the discussion about Intellect's relationship with Society I see a lot
of "packaging and redirecting of social substance" by Intellect. Some of the
participants to the extent that there is no Social level left. (Wim and
Wavedave).'
Could you PLEASE take care not to misrepresent my ideas. In my view the
social level is far more important than the intellectual level, both in
terms of the period in which it was the highest available level of static
quality for hominids (±2 million years BCE until 100.000 à 50.000 BCE) and
in terms of the part of our behavior that is governed by social
(unconscious) rather than intellectual (conscious) patterns of values.
For me there is a social level when there are social patterns of values. I
don't see the value of saying that there is only a social level when social
patterns are not only in the service of biological patterns of values any
more (have gone off on purposes of their own).
You may disagree with my definitions of the social and intellectual levels,
but I don't like discussing with someone who doesn't even try to understand
my views (judged by your disability/unwillingness to represent them
properly).
With friendly greetings,
Wim
