IMO the essence of intellect is no different from that
of, say, a screwdriver. A tool. A means. To talk for
hours on end about a screwdriver is indeed stale.
Nothing near as interesting as a work of Bach.
Why intellect is in the hierarchy of MoQ banter is
because intellectuals "like" having intellect as part
their Great Scheme of Things. Comics would chose
Humour, lovers Love, bodhisattvas Enlightenment,
Romantics feelings ... you get my drift.
The MoQ does not relect reality, there's no empty
mirror ... just a normal one.
