Agree with Horse. From Chap: 21: "Intellect has its own patterns and
goals that are as independent of society as society is independent of
biology." In the MOQ, everything is composed of patterns of value, not
atoms, organisms or groups. Wilber's whole-parts dualism is classic
SOM, not the transcendent MOQ.
