>> Chris: This definition of the intellectual level as " symbol manipulation" makes it possible to strech it out forever. It becomes pointless.
Ron: Exactly why SOM may not be THE intellectual level in any way other than a culturally relevant way. Once you define the intellectual level relevant to Social structure, one may then begin to define it. The rules for our cultures use of logic and reason were invented by the ancient Greeks, so by matter of relevance and convenience, it is reasonable To assume the origins of intellect were created by them in order To understand social/intellectual situations as they apply to our everyday world in the west. This is why Bo's SOL is a good concept if it is Recognized as doing as such. I'd hate to see his ideas be ignored on the grounds of the Inability to make this vital distinction. If we come together on this, it will enable us to define Quality Without Killing it.
