Ok, the oldest book of the bible is Job.  It's also, I'd say, the most
philosophically interesting and contains a description of DQ in human
affairs, delivered by a waiter, that I find fascinating. So I sure dispute
the "conspicuously absent" assertion.

SOM is objectivism is intellect.  If you're gonna call the level
"intellectual", then you're basically calling it "objectivist" because
that's what intellect is and does, by definition.  It thinks about objects.
 It objectifies reality.  That's just intellect.

Can't call it a "level" because it has infinite upper bounds.
