[MD] The Quality/MOQ meta-metaphysics

Mr. Pirsig did NOT regard 'intellect = the S/O distinction' in ZMM!

[Platt]
The hell he didn't. Check out his discussion of the two horns of the 
subject-object dilemma presented by English department intellectuals 
at Bozeman.

Andre is correct (as usual). You are mistaking the dominant 
intellectual pattern of Western culture, which Pirsig WAS combatting, 
with the entirety of the intellectual level. Pirsig has said outright 
he does NOT consider "intellect=SOM". You can disagree him, for sure, 
and you can support Bo's MOQ over Pirsig's MOQ, but you can not say 
Pirsig regards "intellect=S/O distinction" when it is clear he did 
not, nor does not.
