Yes, I think of ideas as intellectual patterns. Rather than there
being social ideas versus intellectual ideas, "I think the conflicts
mentioned here are intellectual conflicts in which one side clings to
an intellectual justification of existing social patterns and the
other side intellectually opposes the existing social patterns."

Best,
