[MD] Evil in the Church of Reason

[Michael R. Brown]

Hi, Joe -

> DQ is indefinable and still knowable.

Vladimir Horowitz - who knew something about expression - once said in an 
interview, "Sound came before the word. Sound came *before* the word. So 
sound speaks by itself. It doesn't need any interpretation. It's like a 
painting - you look at the painting, and everyone sees something different 
... That's why I don’t' read about music so much. You get lots of nice 
words, nicely written - but it didn't tell you anything!"

Here's his way of saying the same thing:

He used to demonstrate what he meant to visitors to his house by making all 
kinds of non-verbal sounds, and pointing out that people *understood* what 
he meant without verbal cognition. It's like dancing. That's why Lila 
dances. "The Tao nourishes all things."
