There emerges many strange alliances in this discussion, in your 
eagerness to be anti-SOL you even embrace Case/Krimel who 
hardly understand or care about the MOQ, while Platt and I who 
bring reams of Pirsig back-up quotes. ..alas. About Einstein, 
Oppenheimer ...etc shows how little you understand. The said 
"Jews" are/were all living in Europe or USA and firmly intellect-
anchored and so are 90 % of Israel's citizens, it's the orthodox 
head-banging kind who hates the Israeli state as much as Hamas 
who are impervious. They don't contribute at all to the Israeli 
democracy, neither intellectually nor economically.

Regarding the Muslims it must be some reason behind their 
notorious backwardness and I point out the obvious MOQ context, 
but from your intellec-as-SOM stance you think that "non-intellect" 
means drooling idiots. That is not so, a person may break through 
the ceiling IQ-wise yet be non-intellect LEVEL. I still reply to your 
posts because you once showed great promises, but you have 
turned impervious to the MOQ. A true philosophologist.
