HI Squonk,
First of all, I agree with the idea that a null response does create a
pattern in the forum. Patterns are created by all relationships, including
null responses. No one has to do anything purposeful for a pattern to
evolve.
sq: Hi there. If it wasn't for the open support of you and Paul, i would not
even bother with this forum. Thanks for a bit of encouragement.
I also believe like you that Western values are not superior or more moral
than eastern values that are not based on s/o, or Intellect, or whatever the
contention is. I currently consider Dakota values* superior to Western
values, Eastern values, Greek values morally and intellectually.
sq: But let's face it, the bastards beat us? I know the battle is lost. I've
known that for a long time. But the MoQ is out there in the world and nothing
can stop it now. Nothing Platt, Skutvik, or anyone else can do to stop it now.
Freedom! ;-)
there, does that cancel Skutvik out as far as the forum patterns go? Kill
Whitey!
sq: The Dakota don't have an intellect as far as Skutvik is concerned. They
are not allowed one. That level of value imposition is evil.
*I got this great little book called Freedom and Culture, by Dorothy Lee, an
anthropologist. It came out in 1959, and I bet Pirsig read it back then.
"The Dakota were responsible for all things, because they were at one with
all things. In one way, this meant that all behaviour had to be responsible,
since its effect always went beyond the individual. In another way, it
meant that an individual had to, was responsible to, increase, intensify,
spread, recognize, experience this relationship. To grow in manliness, in
humanness, in holiness, mant to plunge purposively deeper into the
relatedness of all things..."
Johnny
sq: I like your talk. Have just ordered a copy of that book on your
recommendation. Cheers.
