[MD] Some historical perspective

[Ian Glendinning]

However, what SOM means by "intellect" is totally different by what
the MOQ means.

Ian says,
Hopefully, otherwise we're all wasting our time.

Good to see some debunking of the convenient, but simplistic,
apocryphal, myth that the Greeks invented SOMism. Clearly the
"take-up" of Plato and Aristotle led to SOMism being formalised and
embedded in our received wisdom, but reality is more complicated than
that. Such details matters to the narrative if not to "what MOQism
is". Convenient myths have their uses.
