Ron, If intellectual value is defined by social value; is it not then, by definition, social quality and not intellectual quality?
Pirsig's quote is correct. Micah I however have no problem with stating that Pirsigs quote : "A culture that supports the dominance of social values over biological values is an absolutely superior culture to one that does not, and a culture that supports the dominance of intellectual values over social values is absolutely superior to one that does not." Is faulty. A culture IS the dominance of social values over biological values, and Intellectual values are defined by the culture they emerge from. Therefore judging cultures by this standard is unequivocally bias and unsound. -Ron Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
