Just as social patterns compete ultimately for popularity, so do competing intellectual patterns strive to be more true.

This makes sense, and thus is more true than SOM - which doesn't even believe in "truth". > Screaming is unnecessary. > > Best, > Mary > > but giggling is mandatory, John 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/md/archives.html
