Ian said: For me this just further illustrates that there is very little to distinguish social and intellectual level patterns.
dmb says: Really? Then where would you locate the intellectual quality of the statement, "I love my country" and where would you locate the social level value of the equation E=mc2? Is a book-burning an intellectual event because books are involved? When the Bush administration supresses scientific data for political and financial reasons, is that just a clash of equal philosophies? Are we really powerless to discern the difference or see patterns? C'mon you guys, the difference between ant colonies and human societies is as stark as the difference between pheromones and moral laws. I really don't understand why its so hard to distinquish these things. Seems to me that fascism and fundamentalism are going to continue to threaten democracy and so knowing the difference is going to continue to be important. And if these are levels of morality then confusion about which is which is going to lead to immoral choices, don't you think? _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail and Microsoft Office Outlook – together at last.
