Thank you for the reply. I take this of course from the Robert Pirsig letter to
Paul Turner. To be honest, parts of this have troubled me and I welcome an
opportunity to perhaps get into it more deeply.

I went back and pulled this quote and it does appear to me you got the
social-intellectual thing reversed. Here is what Pirsig said.

"Just as every biological pattern is also inorganic, but not all inorganic
patterns are biological; and just as every social level is also biological,
although not all biological patterns are social; so every intellectual pattern
is social although not all social patterns are intellectual."

Your analogy had the opposite, "every social pattern is an intellectual pattern
but not all intellectual patterns are social."
