This is a long way towards a reasonable 4th level. "MOQ- Intellect" sounds a bit peculiar, but it indicates at least that the MOQ itself is beyond/above its own static levels. In my opinion also beyond "the general level of intellect". In another post you praised this country for being exempt from the "political correct" pressure (I call it the "mea culpa" trend), but regrettably it looms as large over here as everywhere, but there are some voices in the wilderness and I have the impression that their number is growing. > > [Arlo] > > So you are subdividing the intellectual level into a "lower" strata, > > S/O, and a "higher" strata, MOQ? It sounds as if you regard the multi-strata intellect as wrong, I wish you were right, but I'm afraid it's dogma: Aretê (and the Native American version of it) the original good intellect, then SOM as a faulty strata and finally MOQ as the correct intellectual strata. > > I assume you side with Bo in > > believing that no other culture has ever gone higher than the social > > level?

Yes, it looks like Platt and I agree about the illusion of seeing the American Indians as having some special DQ-filled existence (or whatever it is is you claim?) They surely lived a QUALITY-filled existence - none can avoid that - and theirs was one of social quality. BTW, I sincerely hope you will respond at some greater length to my post in this thread (to you) than these scant remarks by proxy.
