[MD] Celebrity #2

[X Acto]

Ian,
I think it doesn't require an MoQ understanding to see that celebrity comes 
with a price. I feel it depends more on the kind of person one is, what kinds
of values they hold. Certainly an understanding such as the MoQ clarifies
relationships intellectually and part of the focus of Moq is applying intellectual
Quality to the social level that perhaps one who understands celebrity may
employ it in high quality ways without losing honosty and integrity in
the pursuit of wisdom. So that if they find themselves in a position
of celebrity that they should be somewhat more able to make the most
of it, of any experience.

Figured I should comment on the original post since opened my trap.

Try this,

A rhetorical celebrity like Pirsig understands that celebrity (a
social pattern) might cloud his judgement in understanding things ...
so he chose to avoid it.

A scientific celebrity like Dawkins ... doesn't get it, because he
doesn't understand the MoQ (and therefore might be allowing celebrity
to cloud his judgement and misunderstand the world)

(This thread was brought to you by a thought that occurred to me with
John, Krim and Ant discussing whether evolutionary biologists might
benefit from understanding the MoQ ... in the finger painting thread.)

No charge
