Dave, you're "my man". Just this small gem demonstrates what 
the the social/intellectual distinction is about. Social value's 
expression (I call) is EMOTIONS and the phrase "I love my 
country" (right or wrong) is telling for this attitude. Intellect's 
expression" - REASON - and its primary pattern science's 
E=MC2 is just as telling.

Agreement. But this also proves my SOL (Intellect=S/O) There 
can't arrive an "intellectual" pattern that overthrows the S/O while 
remaining an intellectual pattern. The MOQ started as one but 
"took off on a purpose of its own".
