Hi Mark M:
So a human happening is unique, has a name, and is
aware. To me that's a pretty good description of
"self."
Mark 4-7-05:
Hello Platt, you have been selective here have you
not? You have left out the 'happening' bit.
I am getting that spinning feeling.
Platt:
Me too, which means I hold someone like Pirsig in
higher regard than others.
Mark 4-7-05:
Which means you hold the MOQ in higher regard than
other intellectual patterns.
Platt:
Agree. That's why discussing politics on a philosophy
site makes sense.
Mark 4-7-05:
Uncritically agreeing with 'The founding fathers' is
not intellectual enquiery, this is dogmatic assertion.
I say uncritically because you have not as yet
presented any arguments.
You have made allot of demands and asked allot of
question by way of response, and this is not
intellectual enquiery either.
Platt:
Ok, but I wonder why you use small letter i to refer
to yourself -- oops, I mean your happening.
Mark 4-7-05:
Let us simply agree that 'i' stands for these events.
Platt:
Wish that were true, but things can happen at the
social level while we're not looking that can block
intellectual value, like laws being enacted to punish
people with unacceptable thoughts.
Mark 4-7-05:
That happened in the McCarthy era.
Platt:
That's good. Now fill in the details.
Mark 4-7-05:
The details may be difficult to impliment in your
country because this would require giving all children
everywhere for free the opportunity to experience the
best they need to feel stimulated and inspired.
regards,
mark
