"An intellectual path to such an insight". OK, that's different, as
said it was the missing foundation under (what was to become)
SOM or Intellect that was young Phaedrus' path, first to his lateral
drift and later to the insight that SOM is an Quality off-shoot, what
he called INTELLECT in the first MOQ.
But you said to Mati
" This is intellect! See for yourself"

OK, you are a skeptic, but skepticism is usually directed against
religious dogmas, astrology, healing and such that can't be verified
scientifically. The scientist may be skeptical in the sense of not
accepting claims (not even scientific such) but demand that the
experiment can be repeated endlessly and yield the same result
(ZAMM page )
When I think of formal scientific method an image
sometimes comes to mind of an enormous juggernaut, a
huge bulldozer...slow, tedious lumbering, laborious, but
invincible. It takes twice as long, five times as long, maybe
a dozen times as long as informal mechanic's techniques,
but you know in the end you're going to get it.
Yet, science (particularly physics) is sure that there IS an objective
reality "out there" that is governed by laws that are independent of
what we (subjectively) think about it ... AND THIS ATTITUDE IS
INTELLECT!
Get it?
