NO! He's not refering to 'the Intellectual level'. All 4 levels
(Inorganic, Biological, Social, Intellectual) all exist POST-Intellectually.
If it's the semantics that's got you confused than call of the
'intellectual' of pre/post-intellectual split 'the Quality event'. Thus,
all 4 static levels occur post-quality event. Pre-quality event, there is
only DQ.

Sorry man... it just doesn't work like that. Think of it like this, any
'experience' that requires a sense of continuity requires an element of
memory. Anything that is part memory is static and post-intellectual. This
is the MOQ as explained by Pirsig, if you believe I've misstated something,
show me. Of course, you're perfectly free to disagree with Pirsig....
