Platt 7-3-05: Hi Mark M:
Then I presume you consider Mark Maxwell to be a
happening
Mark 3-7-05:
Hi Platt, Yes.
that has no
particular identity
Mark 3-7-05:
Every happening is unique but aims for the Universal
DQ. Mark Maxwell and Platt Holden are unique.
that lasts over time and no self-awareness.
Mark 3-7-05:
Time is a pragmatic construct and happenings construct
it. The happenings come first. Happenings are so
complex and sophisticated they have become aware.
Platt:
Then I presume you believe it is immoral to hold some
people in higher
regard than others.
Mark 3-7-05:
Intellectualy i value some intellectual patterns more
than others.
Platt:
Are not concepts about individuals, ownership,
freedom, etc. political
in
nature?
Mark 3-7-05:
Social patterns are learned through imitation.
Intellectual patterns are free to question those
things we learn by imitation.
Concepts may question individuality, ownership,
freedom and the nature of politics.
Platt:
If intellectual inquiry is based on meanings of a
socially-based
language, at what point do you divorce the inquiry
from the common
meanings of language? Seems to me if you want to
convince somebody of
your
intellectual perspective, you have to use language
whose meanings she
understands.
Mark 3-7-05:
Well, i WAS convinced by language i understood. (And
found in MOQ literature too.)
And i also thought for myself in an open and free
manner and found the arguments to be good.
Platt:
I agree ownership is a social level value pattern. But
so is language
and
a other social patterns that support the intellectual
level without
which
the intellectual level cannot function.
Mark 3-7-05:
Well shhhhhhhhhh and be quite then! We can sit back
and let the social level go about its business while
we talk intellectual value.
Platt:
The question is, "What political system do you think
is best for
enhancing Quality?"
Mark 3-7-05:
That is a call for an essay!
Blimey!
Allow me to give an outline:
The best political system for enhancing Quality is one
devised by intellectuals with an emphasis on the
Dynamic code of Art.
Howzat?
