Arlo, Platt, Andre, All. [Andre] originally: > Mr. Pirsig did NOT regard 'intellect = the S/O distinction' in ZMM!

[Arlo] chimes in: > Andre is correct (as usual). You are mistaking the dominant > intellectual pattern of Western culture, which Pirsig WAS combatting, > with the entirety of the intellectual level. Pirsig has said outright > he does NOT consider "intellect=SOM". You can disagree him, for sure, > and you can support Bo's MOQ over Pirsig's MOQ, but you can not say > Pirsig regards "intellect=S/O distinction" when it is clear he did > not, nor does not. Bo chimes out: Fist thank you Platt. When will this about cultures as intellectual patterns end, it makes the Stone Age - tens of thousand of years before the 4th. level is supposed to have emereged (according to LILA) an intellectual hot-bed. As if the biological and social levels have "Western cultures" not to speak of matter in USA being "Western inorganic values" different from Asian ditto. I have hitherto consider you Arlo a reasonable fellow, but your anti-SOL eagerness takes the best of you and - like Andre - makes a fool of yourself ..... well, nuff said. No the intellectual level is the same STATIC S/O distinction wherever DQ have brought Q-evolution up to that plane, be it on earth or on the other side of the universe. And it was this intellect - while still SOM - that Phaedrus opposed and confronted in the said dilemma and elsewhere. And FYI Arlo, Pirsig's latest communique was: "If the SOL has value it will percolate to the top" and it seems to be on its way up. Please stop this slanderous way of debating.
