[John] I was thinking that man's best moreness - the intellectual level of patterns - is "in his head".

It always takes an "outside" perspective to value things properly - a context. I believe the MoQ does provide this contextualizing value, but we "intellectuals" tend to ignore this in our thinking and hierarchical pride exacerbates our egoistic tendencies. > > -- ------------ Self is simply Choice, so choose good ------------ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
