I fully agree with this, and frankly I don't understand why people would hold to a "mystification" of the MOQ. It is not necessary, and all it would do would be to change it into a (worse?) form of mysticism that has already been around for over a thousand years. Zen is all good and well, but it is not the MOQ. There the mystics have it right, if you try to define Zen it will elude you, and you will have missed the point, the MOQ however is a tool for our analytic minds. Perhaps "analytic minds" is not the best choice of words, but I trust you know what I am getting at. So, It should definitely not be more associated with any mystic elements, but my question was rather: Should we proceed as did Voltaire? To fight ferociously and perhaps a bit single minded for our cause - sometimes there is Value in such a struggle, but I do not know about this. Mabye it would destroy more that it gains, and perhaps the MOQ is not suited for such a struggle - maybe this was the way of the old intelectual level to establish itself, and maybe (If indeed the MOQ is the next level) this way of establishing supremacy is not suited for the MOQ. Thoughts? Oh, and by the way, Karl XII fought at Poltava - besserwisser note =D MVH Chris PS. This SOL that you speak of- excuse my ignorance - what are you refering to?
