Hi "Fletcher" Squonk.
On 8 Sep you said:

Am I still in charge? I thought I had been put in the lifeboat ...etc.

After a few days this gave me the smallest of epiphanies.You sound
genuinely exasperated and I have pondered why, it must be some gross
misunderstanding somewhere and now I possibly understand. You have
dead-locked on to the "metaphysics" part and believe that I want SOM to be
Q-Intellect in its "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM" capacity and in that case I
deserve to be set adrift - keelhauled and whipped through the fleet even. But
my idea is that the intellectual level is the VALUE of the subject/object divide
which means that the "M" rank is handed over to METAPHYSICS of Quality
- and from that point of view Intellect's S/O is a mere static value, but the
one from where the Q-idea has emerged. Does this make sense and/or any
difference?

The S/O as SOM (a metaphysics) does all the bad things you say and many
more, but the S/O - as the intellectual value - is the only value capable of
checking social value.

I had hoped that Platt would enlighten you at this point.

Rationality HAS expanded in the the form of the Quality Idea, can't you get
that into your head?
