If the SOM (=Intellect) is pressed downwards inside your mind-
intellect it is no longer a high intellectual pattern, but "bad stuff" and
the S/O distinction isn't bad at all, but - as said a million times -
"modernity" itself and must be kept high and dry ... as the intellectual
level itself.
[Krimel]
Bad ideas are as much a part of the intellectual level as good ones, just as
cancer and orgasm are both part of the biological level. All you are doing
is privileging one set of intellectual patterns over all the others. This
may indeed be worth doing but it does not constitute a new "level"; a new
age, a new chapter, a new era, but not a fundamentally new metaphysical
classification.
That's point one.
[Bo]
That's one point, another is that it's impossible for two metaphysics to
reside side by side inside a MOQ level because the level system IS
THE MOQ.
[Krimel]
That's like saying it is impossible for plants and animals to coexist on the
biological level or for matter and energy to coexist at the inorganic level.
[Bo]
Such an "intellect" as yous is simply SOM's "mind" - a mental container
where ideas reside - and if so SOM prevails. Try a little logic!
[Krimel]
The intellectual level is comprised of intellectual patterns. Those patterns
may be represented in "mind" but they can also be represented on paper and
cave walls and patterns of dots and dashes. A "level" is a container for a
set of patterns. A dictionary contains a set of all the words in a language
and if you look it up you will find "dictionary" contained inside a
dictionary. Neither dictionary nor "dictionary" are regarded as something
outside of and fundamentally different from linguistics.
If I thought it would help I would go off on Godel's theorem and Russell's
theory of logical types, which both address your taxonomic dilemma. Try a
little Google with your logic. It might help you see the error of your ways.
That's point two.
