[MD] Anti-intellectualism revisited

[Ron Kulp]

John,
Let's look again at the philosophical
Meat and potatoes offered up, sans
"Pirsig sez" that seemed to be over looked in your reply:

>>>>> "Art is born when out of the many bits if information

>>>>> which they are unified whole."
>>>>> Aristotle metaphysics book alpha.

>>>>> To the Greeks knowing what is best

Intellect is the creative act of understanding experience. 

It is a divine act, it is the knowledge of the Good. Therefore an extension
Of the Good. That's why the Greeks put it at the top, intellect was an extension of god the creative source,
Intellect, the creative act of being.
 
Let's address this because it has a lot to do with RMPs project.
