[MD] the power of Quality

[david buchanan]

Gents:

You think visceral feelings, emotions and instincts are better than 
intellect? Yikes!

An anti-intellectual philosopher is like a frigid porn star or a blind 
painter, don't you think?

And in the MOQ this would be considered an immoral position, don't you 
think? I mean, how is it NOT degenerate to put feelings and emotions over 
intellect? I'm not saying we can do well without them but surely its wrong 
to elevate them over intellect. Besides that, what reason do we have to 
believe that ideas and philosophies can't inspire awe and wonder? Don't 
"feelings" accompany every thought you've ever had? Isn't intellect supposed 
to be a higher form of morality with its own set of sensibilites?

Sorry guys, but thinking with your gut is way too common and its nothing to 
be proud of.
