It's a short way from Capitol to the .??...cliffs as the Romans said,
what have I done to deserve this? The SOL is now so firmly
underpinned that the only alternatives are ignore me (Matt) or just
shout incoherent "no no" without any MOQ backing or
understanding. I doubt if you are capable of concentrating long
enough to listen through the full version, but look to this for Ian.

Do you agree that the intellectual level is the fulcrum? If Pirsig
had treated it as SOM - not as if the villainous cuckoo "science"
had laid its S/O egg in its nest, then the SOL would have been
the one and only interpretation? Now, in the Paul Turner letter
Pirsig comes one hair's breadth from admitting that the 4th. level
is SOM.
I think the same happens to the term, "intellectual," when
one extends it much before the Ancient Greeks.*
".. the same" is the absurdity of making the social level disappear
into molecules, cells and atoms, and "the ancient Greeks" is
SOM in moqtalk. So here we have it from Pirsig for those who
think I commit a "lèse majesty".

See Ron, Pirsig comes as close as his pride permits to affirming
the SOL, what more do you need?

"... out of experience"??? SOM is "out of society". As said to Ian
Pirsig presents science as a S/O cuckoo that has taken over the
intellectual level.This is not right: science is an intellectual pattern
because the S/O distinction is intellects VALUE. This is the only
way to cut the Gordian Knot that LILA tied the MOQ into and for it
to wield its enormous power.
