[Platt] Another illustration of hypocrisy in condemning the SOL interpretation of the MOQ because Pirsig does not support "SOM-as intellect." Nor does he support an animals-included social level.
[Arlo] Which is why I've said in Arlo's MOQ sociality includes certain non-human species. And why Bo should just say that in "Bo's MOQ" the intellectual level is SOM. Instead, Bo and the SIMians waste their time in an illegitimate pursuit at interpretive authority, leading to the ever-embarrassing claim that Bo speaks for Pirsig's pre-hospitalized self better than Pirsig himself, turning Pirsig into a "weak interpreter" of his own ideas. As I said, "The MOQ" doesn't say anything, Pirsig does, I do, you do, Bo does. WE do the saying. The books and writings of Pirsig constitute HIS ideas on what a metaphysics of Quality would be. When your thoughts differ, which is valid, then you are advancing... dun dun DUN!... YOUR thoughts. Valid: In Pirsig's MOQ, the intellectual level is not defined by SOL. In Bo's MOQ the intellectual level IS defined by SOL. Which is better? Pirsig's or Bo's? Invalid: In Pirsig's MOQ the intellectual level is defined by SOL because Bo interprets some what Pirsig wrote regarding his pre-hospitalized thoughts as "meaning" the SOL, and so the modern-day Pirsig is a "weak interpreter" of his own thoughts.
