[Arlo previously] It is as absurd to say "all intellectual patterns are SOL" as it would be to say "all social patterns are theistic", or "all biological patterns sexually reproduce".
[Bo] No, rather as relevant as declaring all biological patterns alive. [Arlo] There is a commonality to "intellectual patterns", but it is not "SOM". You are attempting to use a species to define "all life". As for your "quotes", they simply reflect the actuality of a dominant SOM paradigm. Of course "society" saw "biology" as evil, and later "intellect" saw "society" as evil. But this is not a "tenet", this is a malady. [Bo] I must add one observation. Some of these passages reveal a tendency of the MOQ to sympathize (join forces) with society in a joint operation to quell intellect... [Arlo] This is a horrible misinterpretation. The MOQ never sides with "society" to quell "intellect", but it restructures "intellect" to know when it should support "society" in its role to constrain "biology" as opposed to seeing "society" as always something "evil". [Bo] You who fight the SOL interpretation does the MOQ a disservice... [Arlo] On the contrary, I think when Pirsig said that the SOL undermines the MOQ he was correct.
