[MD] Imaginings

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi John,

An oral (living) third-part of the trilogy, with MoQ as the operating
system, facilitating lifelong learning.

I like it. What is interesting (in your response to Platt) is that you
still see "teachers" and you still see them having to "judge"
students. I don't disagree, but I am having difficult discussions in
another froum concerned with learning and using "wisdom" where there
is tremendous prejudice against the idea that teachers may be (should
be expected to be) wiser than students - that anything other than
"facts" can be taught.

People seem to pay lip service to the value of values, but seem
unwilling to be judged by anyone else with values - as if, ... unless
those values can be objectively defined there can only be arbitrary
relative subjective values (that debate again) ...

I tend to use the "living processes of governance" arguments - but
your OS metaphor might be interesting to try. The MoQ by any other
name ... too juicy to miss indeed.

Regards
Ian
