Bodvar to Ron: "Symbols/what is symbolized" along with "abstract/concrete" are SOM offshoots.
Intellect is the "symbol/what is symbolized" distinction!!!! Thinking - INTELLIGENCE - has nothing to do with INTELLECT. This is the hang-up that some of you seem unable to snap out of. Therefore is Pirsig's new definition of intellect (manipulation of symbols that have no corresponding experience) futile. Andre: Okay Bodvar, I am as unsnappable as the rest. Give me a New Year's present to help me snap out of this miserably, sub-zero cold, inconvenient place on a lonely newyearseve whose only company is a beer! (In 1953 Mao decreed that any house or building south of the Yangtze River should not be equipped with central heating facilities. The climate would make such an undertaking superfluous. It was 13 below zero the other night! China is not made for whimps!!!...of course Beijing , from where he made this decree, lies way north of the river). How do you propose we 'snap' out of it? Give me some guidelines. And do not simply say: DQ/SQ.... Elaborate. Wishing all a very prosperous and dynamic 2010. Xinnian kuai le.
