[MD] Intellectual Level

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
No matter how you slice it, the intellectual level (described by Pirsig as
manipulation of abstract symbols) presumes the subject/object division and is
thus the SOL.

[Arlo]
SOM is a metaphysical position that posits that the PRIMARY division of reality
is S/O. You continue to confuse the "subjects" and "objects" of grammar with a
metaphysical stance.

Pirsig was right. Bo quite wrong.

But, here's another chance going into the new year. If Bo's MOQ is better than
Pirsig's MOQ, please explain to me how? Do you think it has more explanatory
power? Solves problems better? Explain to me why I should find Bo's ideas to be
of a higher Quality than Pirsig's? What do they offer that Pirsig's does not?
