I'm impressed! No sarcasm! THIS is a most concise presentation of 
the SOL (interpretation of the intellectual level). Great! Fantastic! It has 
really been comprehended .... at least by ONE person.

Popeye the sailor man ;-) But this is no objection but rather SOL's very 
point. Intellect is a static level so it's S/O schism only goes "skin" deep 
(till its social root shows) However - before the MOQ, while intellect 
were SOM - the S/O distinction was regarded to be a bottomless, 
unbridgeable chasm, and because we know that subject and object 
(mind and body) interacts freely it created platypuses galore. This is 
how the MOQ resolves the mind/matter paradox, not Pirsig's tedious 
method in LILA.

Perhaps this is what you say here? However it's only the distinction in 
its metaphysical - SOM - form that evaporates. The S/O (minus "M") is 
the highest and best static value.
