Matt, you said "My problem is that I don't think SOM was anything but a set of metaphors (which is what I think everything linguistic is), and I balk at the distinction between cultural and intellectual. The notion that logic and reason suddenly appeared on the playing field of humanity around the time of Greece, or around any time for that matter, is a myth, created in the West to make the West look cooler. Cultures do it all the time to make their innovations look like the culmination of humanity."
That's pretty much how I see it. Cultures decide what they consider to be "intellectual" - the pinnacle of sophistication in reasoning "in our time".
