A social level is fairly meaningless without the logic of the intellectual level, and it is difficult to find the dynamic of the social level to be different from the dynamic of an anthill. ³They don¹t think, they feel!² is not an indictment of emotional behavior. Rather it is an important pointer to a logic in conscious behavior based in evolution to emotions rather than behavior based on a random occurrence. The intellectual logic of 1+1=2 follows the emotional conscious perception of an individuated difference male/female formulated in a number relationship rather than mere individuation. It is not good for man to be alone.
