There emerges many strange alliances in this discussion, in your eagerness to be anti-SOL you even embrace Case/Krimel who hardly understand or care about the MOQ, while Platt and I who bring reams of Pirsig back-up quotes. ..alas. About Einstein, Oppenheimer ...etc shows how little you understand. The said "Jews" are/were all living in Europe or USA and firmly intellect- anchored and so are 90 % of Israel's citizens, it's the orthodox head-banging kind who hates the Israeli state as much as Hamas who are impervious. They don't contribute at all to the Israeli democracy, neither intellectually nor economically. > One could make a case that theirs is the most intellectual culture on > Earth.

That is not so, a person may break through the ceiling IQ-wise yet be non-intellect LEVEL. I still reply to your posts because you once showed great promises, but you have turned impervious to the MOQ. A true philosophologist.
