Platt I would say "getting along" is of much higher quality than lobbing nukes at each other. If you have a bunch of very high quality individuals, all isolated from one another and trapped in their own existence, then it doesn't matter how high the quality they possess. You have to have social interaction for intellectual excellence to take hold. Social static latching is necessary for any positive change. I don't see how organizing individuals responding to DQ undermines any individualism. Nor do I see how industrial corporate control of the masses leads to more DQ in society. Big Corporations aren't interested in Quality - they are interested in profit and if keeping people stupid leads to higher profit... well you can look around and see the results for yourself. > Have you been to North Korea lately?
