[MD] Intellectual value

[Platt Holden]

Three versions of "intellectual value:"

[Steve]
"Intellectual value is like truth, a species of good -- that which is good 
to believe."

[Ham]
But, inasmuch as truth and goodness are relative, what you really mean is 
"that which is good for YOU to believe."

[Platt]
Agrees with Ham and gives it a twist: "People believe what makes them feel 
good to believe." 

Note the interdependence of "truth," "belief," and "goodness."
