Gents:
You think visceral feelings, emotions and instincts are better than
intellect? Yikes!
An anti-intellectual philosopher is like a frigid porn star or a blind
painter, don't you think?
And in the MOQ this would be considered an immoral position, don't you
think? I mean, how is it NOT degenerate to put feelings and emotions over
intellect? I'm not saying we can do well without them but surely its wrong
to elevate them over intellect. Besides that, what reason do we have to
believe that ideas and philosophies can't inspire awe and wonder? Don't
"feelings" accompany every thought you've ever had? Isn't intellect supposed
to be a higher form of morality with its own set of sensibilites?
Sorry guys, but thinking with your gut is way too common and its nothing to
be proud of.

Platt replied:
Agree. But they are not the biological feelings of fear, anger, greed and
sexual
organism. Rather, they are the emotions of awe and wonder, and the instinct
for
harmony.
