Ian said to John:
Intellect only leaves out the aesthetic leading edge IF we adopt some limited
dumb SOMist idea of what intellect is.
dmb says:
Right. I think that's the main idea behind the root expansion of rationality.
The idea is to integrate a working concept of Quality, to weave it right into
any intellectual endeavor. That's why the MOQ encourages philosophers to use
rhetoric rather than rigorous rules or cool, bloodless logic. Which is not to
say it's good to be illogical. It's supposed to be better than merely logical
or correct.
To accuse the intellect itself or rationality itself as the problem is to
confuse the disease with the patient. Thinking is not a disease. It's not the
problem. It has a problem. Big difference.
