[MD] What's missing?

[Ron Kulp]

Bo,
I had the opportunity to see "300" over the weekend.
Lieniedus made an eloquent speech before battle about
Living in the light of reason rather than fear and myth
That this must be defended and allowed to grow.
Perhaps when people no longer feared their gods and
Were free to contemplate did intellect bud.
-R

Absolutely All.
I have tried to tried to air this "quiz" a couple of times but for some
incomprehensible reason it did not evoke any interest, so I try again
and hope that many will respond.

In his letter of September 2003 to Paul Turner Pirsig uttered these
words:

    Just when the evolution of the intellectual level from the 
    social level took place in history can only be speculated 
    on .... [snip] .... but if one studies the early books of the 
    Bible or if one studies the sayings of primitive tribes 
    today, the intellectual level is conspicuously absent. The 
    world is ruled by Gods who follow social and biological 
    patterns and nothing else.  

But more specifically, what is missing from the said Biblical age
compared to posterity? If that can be pinned down we finally have
Pirsig's definition of what constitutes intellect. Of course there are a
billion "things" and, not much talk about politics and economics ..etc.
but you know what I mean.:  In a MOQ context what has happened in
between? 

Please

Bo
