dmb says: Why not? Why do you imagine that non-SOM intellectual patterns are impossible? I have been reading anti-SOM or non-SOM intellectual descriptions from a variety of philosophers for a couple of months now and so this assertion strikes me as quite absurd and quite obviously false. Radical Empiricism is a direct attack on SOM. In what sense is radical empiricism NOT intellectual? How does this prime example fail to prove the falsity of your assertion? On top of James, we also see this attack on SOM in Dewey, Mead, Nietzsche. Not to mention the Eastern philosophies. It seems to me that I have been handling non-SOM intellectual patterns, trying to show them to MOQers in my posts and so I just can't make any sense of what you're saying.
To say that SOM equals intellect is like saying that a transportation system is defined by the cargo it carries. Intellect is a capacity, an ability and SOM is a product of that capacity. As I see it, there is no good reason to think that trucks can carry only one kind of cargo or can only take that load to one certain place. It confuses form with content. DM: Thanks, I think that perfectly states the problem with Bo's suggestion.
