There's a tendency to believe that
we make rational choices about our lives, that we assume social roles as a
matter of rational choice and so we imagine that since we can "think" about
it and talk about it, well then it must be intellectual. (sound effects;
Game show buzzer and descending trombone notes.) But that's just not so.
Most of who and what we think we are is our social identity. (Let's not
flatter ourselves at the expense of intellectual accuracy.) If the social
level has been evolving for 160,00 years and the intellectual level for less
than 3,000 years, then it only stands to reason. :-)
Bravo DMB Bravo,
Intellect is a myth, rationality is a myth, philosophy is a myth, freedom is
myth, free will is a myth, God is a myth, the MOQ is a myth, it is myths all
the way through. As Nietzsche said myths are the creative force of a
community;now I see more truth in that than ever before. So you all go ahead
and convince yourself of your superiority to myths, your sacred rational, my
time has come, I go to sleep now and when I wake up I believe what I have
dreamed of for it is my own personal myth, my sanctuary, where I rest and
find comfort, grace and beauty beyond rationality, I wish you all the best,
I have learned a lot from you in the past few years but I have my own path
to follow......be well, take care
good bye MOQ, Good Bye Robert Pirsig
