DmB, Bo, SA, I'm hanging out of the discussion to work up a proper response. I think the original Greek first division of their system, the logical classification upon which every bit of their logic rests on, is the division of subject and object. It is a convenient abstract starting point, like zero and whole numbers. I know personally that other cultures have intellect and philosophize Yet still view themselves as part of the creator with brothers and sisters Who are also part of the creator. This is how they saw things. "Primitive" cultures chart stars and work a mathematics without ever conceiving them selves separate from the universe around them. Doubtless SOM has been the most successful and pragmatically taken as truth on this merit alone.
If I am soft on this issue it's only because of a practical skepticism Based on the knowledge that humans anthropomorphize. I find it contradictory for Bo to defend the idea of SOM as absolute intellect Theory then admonish us As SOM-ish for suggesting other forms of existing intellect(like Moq) Marxist collective ideology, Confucianism, Vedic, ect. I do however feel that from a practical standpoint, assuming SOM as intellect As per our culture, has Pragmatic merit. It directly applies MoQ to the situation in a terms of an applicable understanding. Platt uses it to judge social situations, Dan uses it to fix motorcycles But as soon as you take it for an absolute understanding you close the Door on dynamic quality and it becomes another SOM type intellect And Bo must be careful of this.
