John butts in:

Here is why your formulation of SOM=intellect falls flat, Bo.

 Finding a base for morals in SOM is futile, because SOM is the metaphysical
stance that there is no such thing as objective morality.  Its all
subjective and relative.

However, intellect is the tool which we use to discover true morality, as
Pirsig used his in his journey of discovery and thinking about the subject
in his two books.  Your equating SOM with intellect is confusing you.

Remember how Ron kept asking how the SOL is any better at explanation?  Well
you just provided the perfect example of how it's actually much worse.
