Bo, Glad to see Matt and Mark responding to your point.

(Yet again baffled why you start with an attack - "Can't you
understand that ...")
But anyway you had said of the Intellectal Level ...

1) = SOM
or
2) = what SOM means by "intellect", namely the mental compartment
called "mind" where concepts - ideas - thoughts .. are formulated and
stored.

As per the replies already - of course those are not the only options
- but you casting the question so succinctly makes the error very
clear. The most obvious omission (on purely logical grounds) is ...
the Intellectual Level ..

3) = what MoQ means by "intellectual". Why on earth would anyone
construct a new metaphysics with the same definitions of intellect as
existing metaphysics - the definition of a waste of a lifetime, surely
?

As Mark says focusing on the mind/mental angle is not helpful in
distinguishing intellect - clearly no social patterns would exist
without mental / mind activities either. You effectively admit this
when you say intellect is BOTH Spov and Ipov, or that S&I are
"subjects" whereas Physical & Biological are "objects" - which is
clearly primarily a SOMist view.

Your SOL seems to be simply casting the problem in stone, rather than
providing any useful solution to real socio-intellectual problems and
patterns.
Regards
Ian
