[MD] Intellectual Level

[ARLO J BENSINGER JR]

[Platt]
Thus intellect us limited, as I said and Pirsig elaborated.

[Arlo]
S/O intellectual patterns are limited because they expect to exist without
paradox or recursion. What Pirsig (and others) have shown is that there are
better intellectual patterns than SOM, such as Pirsig's MOQ, that begin with
"all this is just an analogy" and don't try to define the indefinable. 

Pirsig's MOQ is not free from paradox, it just doesn't try to "overcome" it, as
the SOMists think they can. The "limitation" is the futile quest for
paradox-free symbolic encoding, a fool's chase with no end.
