And Ron, bringing in Peter's point (from Bo) ... ... is that the S/O distinction is itself a distinction of intellect over social. What I have inlcuded as "self-aware reasoning" would be seen as more intellectual than just intelligent .... Some intelligent things communicate symbolically, linguistically, without any signs of self-conscious reflective reasoning.
I should work that into my summary. Ian, Good points, I was meaning more along the lines of not individual v.s. The collective so much as what the individual experience brings to The social/cultural table. Intellectual would be what the Individual contributes to the society/culture. And like you said "freedom of expression" plays an important role In relation to cultural/social acceptance of individual expression Which in turn becomes a factor in the evolution of said social/culture. Pirsigs latching metaphor comes to mind. -Ron Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
