[MD] Collective intelligence

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
That's why Horse's suggestion to substitute "common knowledge" as a social
level pattern...

[Arlo]
In this sense, "common knowledge" is the intellectual level not the social
level. Calculus, an intellectual pattern of value, is not a social level
pattern.

[Platt]
... instead of arguing about "collective consciousness"  and "collective
intelligence" is valuable. It fits the MOQ to a tee, not to mention that it
harmonizes with common sense. 

[Arlo]
Hardly, since Pirsig himself posits a "collective consciousness".
