What it's about is the ability to pay attention, and to relate abstract 
ideas to concrete realities without a whole lot of intervening 
static.  Does applying ideas intelligently and learning how to communicate 
them outside of a narrow circle jerk have a place on the Frankfurt School 
list or not?  You know, I run into this problem at least once a year on 
this list.  I'm tired of singing the same litany over and over again.  So 
I'll leave it right here.
