I am finished with this for now, and will stick
to my own definition/interpretation as a more

Hi Marsha,
Funny thing happened on the way to defining the intellectual level. Almost
everyone agrees, including Pirsig, that intellectual patterns originate out of
society. The same people then try to squeeze the MOQ into the intellectual
level, but what society did the MOQ originate from? None.
The MOQ originated in response to Dynamic qualty by the unique combination of
value patterns named Robert M. Pirsig. Some may try to say he is society. Yeah,
right. He is no more society than the brujo was. The values that matter, the
ones that change society, originate out of individuals, defined as being all
four static value levels plus the ability to respond to DQ.
An argument will be that Pirsig, the brujo and other innovators originate out
of society. True enough. But new value patterns originate from individuals
only. That's why Pirsig wrote that you shouldn't execute criminals unless they
are a threat to society. One of them might have an idea that would move the
evolution of life forward.
In fact when you think about it, individuals don't fit in any of the levels.
They're a separate category all their own.
