Ian, what did I do to deserve this?

You had after all written:
Almost, but not quite. The newly (more dynamic) MOQ level is
allowed to dominate new "intelectual" patterns arising from the
(static) intellectual level,.....
If the MOQ dominates intellect, then intellect is "at its mercy" (or "at its
disposal") like society is at intellect's disposal and so on downwards.
About "primitive view of evolution". IMO, after a new level had been
established its "building block" became the ultimate pattern of the
lower level. After the social level took control over biology "Homo
Sapiens" became biology's last word. Where intellect has established
its hegemony democracy is the final social form. And my safe bet is
that MOQ's "building block" - the Quality Idea - will be intellect's last
word when the MOQ has achieved "levelhood" (Mary's eminent term).
If this is what you mean by the "... the new MOQ level is allowed to
dominate new intellectual patterns" - we agree.

I see, is it worse here than elsewhere?
