  That a metaphysical stance that subjects and objects comprise all reality
is "a" intellectual value I can see.  But calling it "the" value confuses me
because it implies intellect can only put objectivism as its highest value.
 Which denies many of the intellectual accomplishments of non-objectivist
societies in history and the world.

Oh.

I see.

That is Bo's stance.

 Nevermind.
