Arlo, I will restate my beliefs. I believe SOM has become cultural As all successful intellectual patterns do.
As it stands today, SOM is both a cultural and intellectual pattern. What defines the intellectual pattern is through engagement of the individual with their culture. If the individual contributes a concept To the culture and becomes accepted, it is said to have high intellectual Pattern of Value. In this dynamic way, pre-intellect would roughly equate to pre-opinion In relation to cultural norms. Focusing the opinion formation on Personal experience. More specifically on immediate experience itself. When defined in this manner the levels work in conjunction with MoQ Concepts. And as I stated before this would make Robert Pirsigs concept of MoQ One of The highest intellectual patterns of value yet developed and gaining acceptance within our culture. Simply on the merit that his is the most accessibly expressed and the most culturally transformative of any concept that I am personally aware of. On this I concede that I might be wrong but I can only form my opinion by my own experience. -Ron Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
