Subject: MF PROGRAM: June 2000 - Define the intellectual level
Hi MF
I'll be your stewardess for this month, and the question is:
Of all the levels, the one that seems to create the most confusion or appear most obscure is
the intellectual level. What exactly is it? What are its values? What are its goals? How does
it manifest itself? Why should intellectual level values prevail over social level values? Are
intelligence and intellectual value the same thing.
In short, define the intellectual level.
Actually that's seven questions. Please stick to them, and no wandering, waffling or walloping
each other;-)
Diana
Greetings,
Since I've been slow reading Chapter 2 for the LilaSquad, it occurred to me that one way to tackle this project would be to use "slips" and first collect as many ideas about the intellectual level as possible without editing or filtering of them (the way Pirsig did).
So, I would like add some ground rules for this thread: (God, this is fun... :-) )
1- Anyone can add slips at any time. Just remember that slips that say "popcorn" or "pet rock" will probably end up in the JUNK category ultimately... but who knows?
2- This thread will be MY personal exploration (viewpoint) of using random access to explore this topic, so at some point, the group of slips will need to be organized. I will be the "one sorting the sand into piles". But, I'm open to suggestions: please submit them as PROGRAM slips. Others are free to start their own threads and use some or all of the same slips... or not.
3- I may use other's threads as the source of slips and add them to this thread.
4- For now, while in the beginning phase, since there will be an avalanche of possibilities, many different ideas can be submitted in a single email. We'll assume that each is "stored" on separate slips for now.
Here goes; a random collection of ideas about intelligence:
facts
ideas, stored
ideas, communicated/transported
messages
thoughts
dreams
fantasies
perceptions
perceivers
illusions
logic
rules
order
mathematics
concepts
beliefs
attitudes
books
stories
myths
drama
words, spoken
words, written
sentences
paragraphs
images
diagrams
paintings
hierarchies
structure
organization
agreement/disagreement
dialectic
thesis/antithesis
proposition
speculation
memorization
improvisation
philosophy
libraries
Internet
algorithms
protocols
symbols
deceptions
Well, there's a quick 40 or so. This will probably need to go on for a while... (to be continued)
Please feel free to add to this list.
