Hi Craig
[Magnus]
Do you see anything [in Pirsig's 2nd level]
about self-sacrifice for
the common good like ants do?
Ants don't "self-sacrifice for the common good".
I'm pretty sure a whole bunch of zoologists would disagree with you on that.
A few examples: (Just Google for "ant self sacrifice")

So, yes, I'm even more sure now.

Much of
our non-biological humanity is also
biologically inherited, such as
mother-instinct, compassion, etc.
These are all biological examples.
Ah, I see you have an own definition of the social level, let's see, you
said (Aug 14):
"If they were hard-wired they would, of course, be biological"
So you put every animal from one cell amoebas to humans in the
biological basket, right?
But then, the problem I presented to Andre the other day pops up. The 1.
2. 3. reasoning about human intellect. How do you fix that?
