We are victims of the illusion that one's own subtle utterings will be 
understood in all their splendor ;-)  

It was Michael who introduced  the reason/faith aggregate. and 
loosely translated into moqish it becomes: Society-as-faith 
precedes intellect-as-reason, but naturally the correct phrase is 
"the social level preceding the intellectual".

Agree!

Here you understand THE idea. The term "faith" is intellect's 
creation. "faith vs reason" is just one of intellect's many pairs 
where it places itself in the superior right-hand position "subjective 
vs objective", mind vs matter" ... etc.,  All indicating that the right 
one is permanent while the left is fleeting, illusory. See, the Old 
Greek's SOMists resounding down through the millenniums.

Not you and me ... operating from SOM. Never!
