[MD] the prime directive of the MOQ

DM said: Let's not forget that MOQ describes a cosmic evolution
and the highest static level created to date is the intellectual one.
So Pirsig does recognise intellect as of great value.

Scott:
Yes, he does put it at the highest static value, but the gulf between the 
static and the dynamic is like the gulf between the finite and the infinite, 
namely, infinite. What I am saying is that if indeed intellect belongs to 
the dynamic, then claiming that it is static, even the highest static, is 
infinitely denigrating it. That means that either Plotinus or Pirsig is 
fundamentally wrong, and it is, I would think, important to decide who is 
right, no?
