Hi Folks Here's the list of subjects put forward for discussion for July. As always if there is a tie I'll select those that have tied and ask for you to re-vote.
There is only 1 vote per member so please don't go voting for more than 1 topic. Those interested should submit their votes by 9pm New York time on Friday June 2nd. I will not be forwarding the vote posts to the list but will post the final results around midnight (GMT) on Friday the 2nd so don't get worried that your post hasn't made it. I shall show all the voters on the CALL FOR VOTES final results so if you don't see your name on it email me then. Any topic that is not used will be added to a page of potential topics which can be re-used at a later date if you so desire. A reminder - Opinions on the June topic are invited. Here's the list of topics on which to vote: 1) How does the MoQ see the open source software movement. (Horse) 2) Two quotes from Lila regarding Culture: "As the atomic physicist,Niels Bohr,said, "We are suspended in language." Our intellectual description of nature is always culturally derived." Chapter 12 "Our scientific description of nature is always culturally derived.Nature tells us only what our culture predisposes us to hear.The selection of which inorganic patterns to observe and which to ignore is made on the basis of social patterns of value,or when it is not,on the basis of biological patterns of value." Chapter 24 Explain the above. (Horse) 3) From LILA Chapter 24: "The end of the twentieth century in America seems to be an intellectual, social and economic rust-belt, a whole society that has given up on Dynamic improvement and is slowly trying to slip back to Victorianism, the last static ratchet-latch." Lila was published in 1991 (and obviously written prior to its publication). The end of the 20th century in America included arguably important social events like the spread of the internet, arguably important economic events like the stock-market bubble, arguably important scientific/intellectual advances in computer technology, genetics, chaos theory, quantum physics, etc. etc. (Rick) MOQ.ORG - http://www.moq.org Mail Archive - http://alt.venus.co.uk/hypermail/moq_focus/ MF Queries - [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe from moq_focus follow the instructions at: http://www.moq.org/mf/subscribe.html
