[Andre] I have come to conclude that we are looking at the wrong section in Pirsig's letter to Paul Turner, the section I posted to Ian and Arlo. Here it is:
'What complicates all this discrimination between intellectual and social thought are intellectual patterns that are no longer intellectually valid but are sustained by the social traditions that they created long ago. Religious beliefs are in this class. Classical physics is in this class. I think much of the opposition to the MOQ falls in this class as well'. [Krimel] Notice that both intellectual and social thoughts are intellectual patterns. The intellectual level is the set of such patterns. Who says that all of the ideas on the intellectual level must be good ones or ones about any particular thing? Intellectual patterns make up the intellectual level regardless of how they are sustained or how they are preserved. The intellectual level is big enough to handle both Logos and Mythos.
