[MD] Food for Thought

[ian glendinning]

Hi DMB, ignoring the ranting drivel,

You said "Traditionally, cops and armies enforce social values.
Intellect doesn't use
the same method."

All I ask is so what methods does intellect use (in any sense that
distinguishes it from society).

You go on to mentions constitutions, bills of rights etc. Is the
answer as simply as "a society that upholds basic freedoms and
democracies" can call itself intellectual. And thus impose (social)
controls in the name of "intellect" ?

I can guess Platt's response.
