Agree, with doubts about the social level - at least regarding this 
forum. We are totally immersed in intellect's value and that is 
what hinders an understanding of what intellect's role is in the 
MOQ  ... and thereby what the MOQ is. This is the reason behind 
my SOL interpretation that posits the MOQ as a meta-level from 
where the levels and their purpose is seen, not least that intellect 
is the value of the S/O distinction (no small thing though) and not 
a super-"container" that contains that which is supposed to 
contain intellect. Pirsig's assertion that the MOQ is an intellectual 
pattern isn't very helpful, but inputs like yours shows that bulbs 
are beginning to light up above some heads. 

IMO
