[Ron] As intellect theory, intellect is not the value of the s/o divide, it's the value of the socio/individual divide.
[Arlo] So when Platt quotes Pirsig, "[intellect] is the collection and manipulation of symbols, created in the brain, that stand for patterns of experience", one has to recall that for Pirsig this "collection" and "manipulation" is socially-mediated. It derives from the social level. And with that recollection in mind (pun intended), we can see how intellect is the point of confluence between individual agents and social activity. It is not about the value of the "individual/social divide", but rather about the value of the "individual/social merging". Ron: Well stated. Focus on this value seems to help define how the intellectual Level is understood. The debate may rage from there on the emphasis of Either. (which it usually does) the point being that it's this value Co-dependency which defines it.
