[Mary replies] Exactly. The Pirsig koan. To understand that the Intellectual Level is "thinking itself" as he has said, requires a clear understanding of what "thinking itself" is - clearer might be to say it requires an admission of what thinking itself is. Once you have made this realization, the next step would be to consider in what ways this "thinking itself" differs from the thoughts of the Social Level. What purposes of its own does it serve?
