So, if an intellectual idea is bad, it is bad because it is "socially
approved"? Give me a break. Those ideas are bad regardless of their social
approval, or at least, they are bad when they cause social patterns like
truth and value to be destroyed in order to promote themselves. (They
aren't bad as paths toward understanding the fragility of social values)
The social level never had those patterns until they were beaten into it by
intellectuals who disrespected social values. I agree that it is the social
propogation of them that mis-applies the ideas, but they only reached the
point of social propogation after they were promoted intellectually as
superior.
