Ham,

Ham said [to Erin]:
The idea that 'Intellect' and 'Language' are not indigenous to human thought
but hang around in some esthetic limbo waiting for man to 'latch onto' or
'evolve to' them is absurd. One must have a strong aversion to
individuality in order to believe such nonsense. Not only is man the
inventor and sole user of language, intellect is his proprietary gift.
Through the use of his intellect and language, man is the 'choicemaker' of
the physical world. That's MY explanation.

Scott:
Actually, I think I'm the only one around here who says unequivocally that
there is intellect and language outside the human context. This does NOT
imply "a strong aversion to individuality", however. See my 11/2 post in the
"Quality, subjectivity, and the 4th level" thread for why it doesn't.
