[MD] Intellectual activity

[Heather Perella]

Hello David H., Gene mentioned, and Craig, too:

     David H. said:  "...with it can have a lot of
intellectual quality to it as well (a car for example)
or not much intellectual quality(a standard pop
artists CD)."

     Talking about $ here.  Just curious David, for I
agree with you that $ is on the social level, and I
couldn't have said it better myself, "...$ (society)
can value things on the biological, social and
intellectual levels differently depending on the
particular culture."  What I am curious about is how a
car more intellectual than say a pop artist CD?  When
you say car, do you mean the making of a car?  Not
just the aesthetic value, but all the motoristic
gadgets and such.  If so, then I get what your saying.
 

     Craig, I don't see how you are putting $ on the
DQ level.  Like Gene said, maybe the intellectual, but
I would like to hear your argument for that, and with
all the celebrity fan-fare, and with the stylistic
social pressures that I mentioned before, grass shoes
compared to stylish nike advertised shoes, these
products, as D.H. said above, are valued not for their
intellectual practical makings (except in the 'lab'
somewhere to open up some new market with some new
creative footwear), which the idea at first was DQ,
but then intellectually created, in turn to fulfill a
biological necessity in time.  
     For instance, grass shoes and nike shoes help
hold out the weather, that's what shoes are for,
right?  Grass shoes with all the other practical
materials that the Alps Ice Man from ca. 6000 B.C.
wore where more practical and thus, intellectually
created than nike shoes, which these latter are
socially more valued, currently, than grass shoes. 
Yet, in the winter grass shoes would work better, why
doesn't everybody wear them?  Therefore $ is socially
valued and we can buy intellectual books that might
even help induce a DQ moment (give us something
different to think about) or our social value of $ can
provide a nice pet rock, which on the inorganic level
this rock was raised to a social value for some odd
reason.
