Bo now:
I have difficulties with Ron's newfangled "universalism". Western 
definition of intellect?? Anyway it looks (to me) as if he accuses 
ME of confusing intellect with intelligence? If so it's upside-down, I 
am the one who claim that this confusion makes the MOQ's 4th. 
level so difficult to sort out.

Bo now:
I guess the relevance is that Ron wonders what social pattern 
gave rise to a S/O intellect.  

Ron wonders:
What color are the skies in your world?

I mean,     holy
