Ok, the oldest book of the bible is Job. It's also, I'd say, the most philosophically interesting and contains a description of DQ in human affairs, delivered by a waiter, that I find fascinating. So I sure dispute the "conspicuously absent" assertion. SOM is objectivism is intellect. If you're gonna call the level "intellectual", then you're basically calling it "objectivist" because that's what intellect is and does, by definition. It thinks about objects. It objectifies reality. That's just intellect. Can't call it a "level" because it has infinite upper bounds.
