I'm not much worried being reprimanded by you who don't profess to be a MOQist - more a badge of honor - it's the selfappointed defenders of the latter-day Pirsig who pose the gravest danger to the MOQ.

Agree, the social level (emotions its foremost expression) isn't a thing of the past, but the levels have no inkling of the Q context so a culture that has transcended the social level will regard the past as "bad". However from MOQ seen all static levels are "bad" and I alternate between blaming society for being the block to intellect and intellect for being the block to the MOQ.
