[Andy] > why is the intellectual level above the social level?
. The intellectual level evolved from the social level. Pirsig gives the example of how concepts (4th) evolve from ritual (3rd). . [Andy] > Could not a being in isolation evolve intellect? . Ludwig Wittgenstein offers an (anti-) Private Language Argument: roughly, using language depends on the ability to distinguish what is correct from what is in error; an isolated person cannot distinguish between what is correct & what they think is correct; :. an isolated person cannot use language. Whether this argument is sound & if so, whether it applies to intellect as well as language, is controversial.
