[MD] [LS:9743] The social level.

[John Carl]

Arlo,


It's pretty quiet on L.S.  I agree.  Quiet except for the ravings of Tim
and Bo, and they are loony.

Maybe I'm loony too.  Pirsig certainly went all loony, and I don't know how
any person living in this loony world can help it but go
loony on occasion.

So I've got a lot of patience for loonies.

oh,,,, kay.  I guess I won't sully this list with vulgar comments about
"projection", but in defense of my fellow loonies - Tim and Bo both,, are as
enamored of ideas and philosophy as anybody on this list..maybe more.
Genius and insanity can run in the same pack.  And Tim's desperate plea to
look at Howison
is completely valid and Bo's problems with logical problems in the MOQ
structure illustrate a general problem with the common interpretations of
SOM and intellect.

And now, on to you and your ideas...
