I call Marxism a failed attempt at controlling a society.  What changes any
society are the people that give it definition.  If they're fearful, hateful, controlling
and lack the awareness and compassion to see the innate connection people
have with one another then they will do their society harm or at least they will
fail to act for its good.
 
And I see concepts, like mathematical ones, like E=MC², as symbolic
representations of relationships and interactions between objects, real or
imagined.  Their power is not intrinsic.  No concept ever opened a door or pushed
a button.  But there is a power or at least there's the potential for power.  It's just
not in the concept, imo.  The power of concepts, it seems to me, is in their use.
 
Communicate a concept to someone who lacks the capacity to understand it
and all you'll get for your effort is a blank stare.  Share it with someone who has
the capacity to understand it but not the awareness or presence of mind or desire
or gumption to appreciate it and you'll get indifference.  But tell it to someone with
the capacity to understand it, the desire to explore it and the means to act on it
and you may just have unleashed the power of the universe.
 
So from an MOQ point of view I'd say the concept is an intellectual static pattern
of quality, the power source is Dyanmic Quality and the change is the Quality
event.  And then I'd say I have only the vaguest notion of what this all means.
 
On a lighter note I see from your email address <RKulp at ebwalshinc.com> that
you hail from Chester County, PA.  Me too.  I wonder how many times we've
passed each other on Route 100.  Perhaps a sit down at the Eagle Tavern some
day?  I'll buy the first round.
 
 
Kevin
