[MD] Distinguishing Levels

Hi Ian,

So you are saying I should have said, "truth is that
which is good by way of that which is understood to be
good."  Right. That is much better. Thanks so much.

Now, Ian, I never get sarcastic, but you are just
picking on me for something that I didn't say and has
nothing to do with the topic at hand. If you want to
argue about absolutes, Platt is the one you should be
talking to.

Then it's a good thing I never treat intellectual
patterns as having some logically absolute
truth/falsity (whatever that means) or think of
intellect as just logic.

If you are going to make up stuff that I say, can post
it on psybertron next time? Some one might read it on
MD.

Steve
