It can't be said to be based on S/O thinking because it transcends S/O thinking. An intellectual process guided by Quality. > [John] > The highest Art is a high quality intellectual endeavor, wherein the > subject/object barrier blurs and disappears. > > [Platt] > Art is a high quality endeavor Intellectual art is propaganda. > > John: if you insist on the SOM dictionary definition of intellect, then I can't accept it as the proper label for the evolutionary 4th level of realization. I bring up Leonard Shlain's Art and Physics to make this point all the time - that high quality intellectual realization has its formation in non-intellectual aesthetic insight. But the terms we use confuse this point.
