Hi Bo
Pirsig actually said:
There has been a tendency to extend the meaning of
"social" down into the biological with the assertion that, for
example, ants are social, but I have argued that this
extends the meaning to a point where it is useless for
classification. I said that even atoms can be called
societies of electrons and protons. And since everything is
thus social, why even have the word? I think the same
happens to the term, "intellectual," when one extends it
much before the Ancient Greeks.*
The last part you and the rest of the discussion should heed
because on the intellectual issue you are as far off as Magnus on
the social (he is lost on the intellectual too, but never mind) This
underpins the SOL interpretation. The Ancient Greeks is in a MOQ
context means SOM.
It's getting very tedious to answer this exact same question over and over
again! It makes me wonder if you've really read my essay, or my previous replies
to the question.
Social value is the force that keeps things together when there's no other
explanation, such as biological or inorganic.
What is so hard to understand about that?
Magnus
