[MD] Individual v Collective

[ian glendinning]

Marsha, there may be something in that ... I've always charaterised
the whole thing as "psychological" - MoQ as a framework for
evolutionary psychology.

I think it's not so much a matter of not relating to an individual
point of view, hard to imagine an "individual" that doesn't, more a
matter of accepting the fact that it's not so wholly divided from the
collective view, as our psyche might imagine.

In fact just reminding us that it is a "view" is enormously helpful
itself I'd say.
