Yes, I guess we did agree about that, but not if we extrapolate from there. We
agree that "intelligence" is not the 4th level. However, you argue that the 4th
level is the S/O distinction, whereas I would say that memories, the content of
a book, or any other representation are intellectual patterns.
"Thinking" on the other hand would be dynamic juggling of intellectual
patterns.
Throwing them together and causing dynamic intellectual quality events. I
still have no idea why other people can neither understand nor accept this
obvious description. There's no need to involve history, greeks, cavemen or
whatever.
> Their "thoughts" belonged to the social level
A statement such as that is as wrong as something like:
The taste of the apple was blue
A "thought" can represent social value, it can determine a man's action and
thereby affect his social value. But it *is* NOT social value in itself, not
metaphysically. This is a very crucial distinction that most people here seem
to
have missed.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm getting a bit disillusioned about getting
my
ideas to grow (dynamically change) here. They can't grow without feedback.
