Why do you continue to deliberately and wilfully misinterpret what I
have said?
I have not banned anyone from talking about the intellectual level - I
merely put a limit on the number of posts per day for discussing the
SOLAQI nonsense due to Bo swamping ALL discussions on the subject and
refusing to stop being a pain in the arse and I spent a considerable
amount of time doing so. In the end Bo threw a hissy fit and removed
himself from the discussion because he couldn't have his own way and
refused to listen. His stupidity, arrogance and childishness are his
problem not mine.
If you check the archives you will see that I did not ban anyone from
discussing their interpretation of the Intellectual level so please stop
trying to make out that I'm some sort of dictator who bans people and
discussions on this forum just because I don't want to hear them or I
disagree with what they say.
If I think someone is behaving inappropriately I ask them to stop and if
they refuse then I remove them. Simple. It is my job as owner and
administrator of this forum to try and keep the discussion to Pirsigs
MoQ and if forum members don't like the way I do it then that's too bad.
If you want to discuss your interpretation of the Intellectual level
that's fine - however, if you want to discuss SOLAQI (or whatever
acronym Bo has decide on) then limit your posts as I have requested. If
you're not discussing SOLAQI (or some sort of disguised version of it)
then feel free to discuss your ideas - however I would ask that you
don't try and tell everyone that Pirsig is an idiot or a traitor to the
MoQ or doesn't understand his own ideas etc.
Are we clear now or will I have to repeat myself yet again in a few
weeks time?

Hi Ron,
I am not sure that there is a clear definition or consensus concerning the
Intellectual Level, and unless Horse opens up the topic, I have been banned
from discussing my interpretation/definition. Further, we live in a global
world where Eastern and Western philosophies might be brought together and
moved forward, so I see no need to exclude either's point-of-view. As far as I
know Eastern philosophy is not enlightenment or nirvana, but is suppose to move
one's understanding towards that state. They struggle with overcoming the same
self/object reification that the West struggles with. At least, imho.

Marsha to Dan:
Then intellectual static patterns of value are a particular category of
pattern that began to emerge with the ancient Greeks and functions in a
particular manner: mathematics, philosophy, science, etc.
Ron sez:
Although this was well said I think it can be summed up more generally by
pointing to
the value of reflection, particularly reflection apon which concepts are best
and
more importantly, our reasons for valuing them as the distinction marking what
western
culture means by the term "intellectual" and more precisely what our group
means by
the distinction of an intellectual "level".
