Hi Platt (seeking refuge from Ron) 2 Dec.you pointed to the low morals:

I think so. You alter between (agreeing with me regarding) SOM as the highest static good and as the cause of social decay. I believe the metaphysics issue is the fulcrum. Intellect is not SOM in a metaphysical sense, merely the distinction in a - um - pragmatic sense, and I believe that these two aspects can be kept apart. According to the MOQ intellect's purpose is to "tame" social patterns (that have free rein under anti-intellect conditions. For instance, Nazi Germany was a most law-abiding country only matched by Iran these days) and as SOM it did that job, but like the sorcerer's apprentice it had learned the start formula but not to stop and this was what Pirsig lamented in ZAMM. That book looked upon SOM as "morally bereft" and longed for the Aretê era when morals were all. But in a MOQ context the levels are moral increases, Aretê is era when social value was leading edge and SOM intellect entering the stage. However their static quality prevents the levels from from understanding the Q context and thus not knowing when to stop taming their parents. And THIS is the reason for intellect's relentless persecution of social good, which is an earlier "taming" of biological license and if brought too far brings "dreadful nights" upon us. Only with the MOQ this context was revealed and intellect thereby "tamed" - not from inside, that's impossible lest it becomes something else than a static level, but by the MOQ. And - I can't resist kicking asses - this is why the "intellectuals" of this forum dislike Platt (most friendly of course) he looks to them as promoting social value, while he really promotes the Quality view a view they haven't understood.
