Glen & Jonathan and LS.
I support your view that Q-Intellect is as much about about perception
as the lower Q-levels, but to see this one has to drop the idea that
Q-intellect corresponds to SOM's mind. Intellect is perception of
static intellectual values; not the special case that Jonathan wants
to make it into.
Jonathan.
If my memory serves me you made your entry with a piece about language
as the carrier of intellectual value to a degree that mankind seems
"...suspended in language" (Niels Bohr) and I am unable to look upon
language otherwise than subject- (predicate) object orientated. What
we call thinking is an inner dialogue and consequently SO-fixated.
Which supports my Intellect as SO-thinking thesis. I may be deep
in my own SOTAQI trench but could you hand me down an example
of non-SO intellectual pattern?
This your passage intrigues me a little though:

'Pure abstraction' and 'abstraction' !. Are you aspiring to become
a latter day Imanuel Kant? :-) But seriously, I see what you hint at
and please look to my next Glen/Jonathan post to see my attempt at
an Intellect as SO thinking 'proof'.
