Mary to Ian: Digging ever deeper... So, Ian, I gotta ask ya (and DMB and Bo and
all) WHAT is the purpose of the Intellectual Level. If we can agree that each level is something that has "taken off on a purpose of its own" and achieved "levelhood" because it wants/desires/values something different from its parent level, then what is the Intellectual Level after? What does it really value that's different from the Social Level? Don't pop off an answer too quickly, you guys. Think about this. I am... still.
Andre: Don't you read dmb's posts Mary?: dmb: "Freedom of speech; freedom of assembly, of travel; trial by jury; habeas corpus; government by consent - these 'human rights' are all intellectual-vs-society issues. According to the Metaphysics of Quality these 'human rights' have not just a sentimental basis, but a rational, metaphysical basis. They are essential to the evolution of a higher level of life from a lower level of life. They are for real." (Lila 307) But I get the idea that you (and Bodvar, judging by his response to you) want something else again? What is it I wonder, if it is not making this world (including its people..yeah us nasties)a little better, you know, improving it a little, a little fairer, a little more harmonious. I mean, no matter how hard you try to force a square peg into a round hole, you are stuck with the notion that we are composed of all four PoV's. And the SOL certainly does not think so, that is why the intellectual level as SOL has such a weird (can't express it in any other way) 'status'.
