[Platt] Your point if I understand it right is that with advances in technology we (as a broad generality) have become wiser intellectually in spite of being exposed to a lot more low quality biological and social patterns. If that's a correct summary of your view, I respectfully disagree. I see little evidence of an increased intellectual acumen over previous generations. As for this group, it's the exception. I've personally learned a lot here. For that I'm indeed grateful to technology. [Krimel] Might I add that technology doesn't enlighten people. People enlighten people. Technology just connects them together across time and space and increases the potential for this to happen. 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/
