    Pirsig says in Lila's Child:

    "For purposes of MOQ precision, let's say the intellectual level is the
    same as mind. It is the collection and manipulation of symbols, created
    in the brain, that stand for patterns of experience."

    PH:
    Lila has no mind? Nonsense. She couldn't talk unless she had
    intellect. Seems you think intellect has something to do with how much
    education one can claim, a dubious proposition if there ever was one. :-)
