Krimel! How come?

I've been forced to use the "Q-intellect" term because so many  apply 
the term "intellect" on everything from apes finding ways to crack open 
nuts,  Stone Age people making flint tools, to the correct interpretation, 
namely  "distinguishing between objective and subjective" - AKA 
Reason. This I've called "the Intelligence-intellect fallacy" and it has 
haunted the MOQ since LILA was published.

I understand that you are sore due to my style, but having participated 
in this discussion for as many years as I have and seen the persistent 
non-understanding of the only interpretation that makes the MOQ 
revolutionary - the so-called SOL - you become a little callous.

No, Pirsig is far too ambiguous to glean any clear understanding from, 
so that I won't do.

1) Snap out of the S/O Metaphysics, i.e.the notion that the 
fundamental split is between subject and object and all its many 
derivatives, f.ex. mind/matter, mental/corporeal, consciousness/what 
c. is conscious of. 

2) Switch to the understanding that the deepest split is between 
Dynamic and Static Reality (Quality=Reality)   

3) Understand that the former SOM becomes the static intellectual 
level in the new DQ/SQ metaphysics.   

If this is mastered you have arrived.

What I remind you of is just as inconsequential. There sure are more 
books than ZAMM and LILA, but not if we are to discuss Pirsig's ideas.
