This looks like Bo's SOL interpretation. Bo
interprets the intellectual level as "subject-object"
and Bo states that S/O dominates the social level. Bo
states S/O is intellectual 4th level, and the 3rd
level is social level, and 4 is hierarchical higher
than 3. So, Bo is interpreting an intellectual level
as the SOL interpretation. Thus, Bo is supporting an
intellect in which "...moral(s) have been declared
intellectually illegal by the subject-object
metaphysics that dominates present social thought.",
due, to Bo supporting an S/O intellect. Bo has not
yet been able to interpret an intellect that is
morally supportive. Bo only recognizes an S/O
intellect that finds morals illegal. It seems Platt
does too.

It seems difficult to intellectualize morals on
this forum. That seems to be my experience here. So,
even when Platt and Bo bring morals up for discussion
I welcome this opportunity. The morals that I've been
able to intellectualize thus far, using moq language
to present to others here, is direct experience, an
experience that is lived first hand by ones own mind
and heart is more telling of life than experiences
that look from the outside in (pure observation).
This is how washing dishes becomes an experience into
the very moral fiber of the universe. How what we
value is lived and demonstrated. If we don't like
what is happening within our first hand, everyday
experiences, then we can try to make the experience
better. That effort can happen in many different
ways. As many ways as experiences.
