Let's try this again... -----Original Message----- From: Diana McPartlin [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 01, 2000 9:14 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MF PROGRAM: June 2000 - Define the intellectual level Hi MF I'll be your stewardess for this month, and the question is: Of all the levels, the one that seems to create the most confusion or appear most obscure is the intellectual level. What exactly is it? What are its values? What are its goals? How does it manifest itself? Why should intellectual level values prevail over social level values? Are intelligence and intellectual value the same thing. In short, define the intellectual level. Actually that's seven questions. Please stick to them, and no wandering, waffling or walloping each other;-) Diana Greetings, Since I've been slow reading Chapter 2 for the LilaSquad, it occurred to me that one way to tackle this project would be to use "slips" and first collect as many ideas about the intellectual level as possible without editing or filtering of them (the way Pirsig did). So, I would like add some ground rules for this thread: (God, this is fun... :-) ) 1- Anyone can add slips at any time. Just remember that slips that say "popcorn" or "pet rock" will probably end up in the JUNK category ultimately... but who knows? 2- This thread will be MY personal exploration (viewpoint) of using random access to explore this topic, so at some point, the group of slips will need to be organized. I will be the "one sorting the sand into piles". But, I'm open to suggestions: please submit them as PROGRAM slips. Others are free to start their own threads and use some or all of the same slips... or not. 3- I may use other's threads as the source of slips and add them to this thread. 4- For now, while in the beginning phase, since there will be an avalanche of possibilities, many different ideas can be submitted in a single email. We'll assume that each is "stored" on separate slips for now. Here goes; a random collection of ideas about intelligence: facts ideas, stored ideas, communicated/transported messages thoughts dreams fantasies perceptions perceivers illusions logic rules order mathematics concepts beliefs attitudes books stories myths drama words, spoken words, written sentences paragraphs images diagrams paintings hierarchies structure organization agreement/disagreement dialectic thesis/antithesis proposition speculation memorization improvisation philosophy libraries Internet algorithms protocols symbols deceptions Well, there's a quick 40 or so. This will probably need to go on for a while... (to be continued) Please feel free to add to this list. ds David Sater [EMAIL PROTECTED] 775.847.7359 MOQ.org - http://www.moq.org
