Ron Kulp quoted:
"The experiences of eminent thinkers have taught us that there is no benefit
in ideas that, divorced from reality, are useless like foam floating on
water or suspended in the air; after such thinkers have expended the
necessary effort and become certain of the usefulness of their experiences,
they transform them into practical systems of life and tangible concepts, so
that they may reach their desired goals. There is no good in knowledge that
does not gather people around it and does not offer a concrete, realistic
life model. When this is not the case, ideas are elitist, drawing only a
limited group, or they are merely playthings." Prof. Dr. 'IRFAN 'ABD
AL-HAMID FATTAH

Thanks Ron. I think this is consistent with the MOQ in all sorts of ways.
The pragmatic notion that metaphysics is good only if it helps to improve
life, the rejection of jargon, the emphsis on philosophy over
philosophology, the way its radical empiricism equates and limits reality to
that which is known in experience, the anti-theistic and anti-Hegalian
sentiments, etc., etc..
