No, it is not INTELLIGENCE I speak about it is INTELLECT and there is no
INTELLECT level. There is however an INTELLECTUAL level and it was created
by the INTELLECT. Your failure to understand or accept that intelligence,
intellect and intellectual are three different words with three different
meanings is what I don't get.  If RMP were here he wouldn't get it either.
He only says this in about a 100 different ways in Lila. But you're a ZaMM
guy, I forgot.

> I wonder if you are "difficult"

Your damn right I am.  Because your interpretation wrong, has been so since
the start, is confusing an already confusing issue, and if integrated into
MoQ would prove fatal to an already unstable system.

You need to paste this on a wall and stay there staring at it until you do
get it !

[Lila pg 140]
"Within this evolutionary relationship it is possible to see that intellect
has functions that predate science and philosophy. The intellect's
evolutionary purpose has never been to discover an ultimate meaning of the
universe. That is a relatively recent fad. Its historical purpose has been
to help a society find food, detect danger, and defeat enemies. It can do
this well or poorly, depending on the CONCEPTS IT INVENTS for this purpose"

And the "concept OR IDEA OR PATTERN OF VALUE [that the intellect] INVENTS"
after thousands of years of evolution, according to the MoQ and RMP, " says
intellect is a higher level of evolution than society; therefore, it is a
more moral level than society" Lila pg 137

Now if you can explain to me how any "intellect" invents something before it
exists, as you have claimed over and over, I will indeed accept your
position.

TO RECAP:

THE INTELLECT PREDATES SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY.
THE INTELLECT INVENTS IDEAS. GET IT?
SOME, BUT NOT ALL, IDEAS MAY RISE TO THE INTELLECTUAL LEVEL.
AND 
THOSE FEW IDEAS THAT SURVIVE THE RARIFIED AIR UP THERE ARE THE GOOD ONES.
UNTIL  BETTER ONES COMES ALONG.

But, this is were we are,have been for years,

"Now we¹ve a real intellectual impasse. Our reason, which is supposed to
make things more intelligible, seems to be making them less intelligible,
and when reason thus defeats its own purpose something has to be changed in
the structure of our reason itself." ZaMM pg 75

...and most likely will remain.
