[MD] irony and socrates

[Ian Glendinning]

And Bo, Arlo, John,

The irony Bo is that whilst I am trying to get you to acknowledge my
simple point about there even being a problem with represnting
intellect as being S/O thinking (full stop), is that all around us
John and Arlo and others are trying to debate "Problems with Intellect
in Society" - which is where we really should be devoting our efforts.

Experience says there is a problem.

Regards
Ian
