Bo: Could you please point to some examples of "all sorts of intellectual culture" except for the said West and Far East ones? As always it's the "intelligence fallacy", will you (people) never understand that thinking/mental activity has nothing to do with he intellectual level ?
Ron; I have forwarded many, recently, in the last few posts and in the past, yet you still ask this question , so I take that any example offered will be unacceptable because you define intellect in western cultural terms of analytic. I offer that any culture that expresses itself symbolically ie. art, is an intellectual culture in human, homo sapien terms. You say that there is a distinction between intellect and intellegence. In which is how you make the very same distinction as to cultural relevance. This pertains to other species as well. All societies of any species of any type posess an intellectual level uniquely contextual on to itself, unrecognizable to other societies. I agree, making this distinction is key to grasping and giving meaning to our own intellectual level in which to apply MoQ understanding with any clarity. > It makes the mistake of posing a culturally chauvanistic world view in > evolutionary terms, dangerous in my opinion. The intellectual level is > defined by the culture it emerges from it is as all MoQ concepts, > contextual. Bo: I see the Oriental Culture as more advanced than the Euro- American one, if that is your newfangled humanitarian worry. Ron: The Mayans, calculated the movement of the stars with greater precision than the greeks and never had SOM. The ancients of Peru lay out patterns across miles with the accuracy of todays survey equipment and geometry, yet these were not intellectual cultures? how do you explain it? were they merely intellegence? in the class of smart dogs or trained monkeys?
