No one argues that the social isn't necessary if for no other reason than
it takes a society of your father and mother for you to be here. But when
it comes to responding to DQ, only you, as an individual, are capable.
Societies don't respond. Read again the story of the brujo.

LIke I said, society is a given, like the air we breath.

No one suggests the intellectual level should be renamed the "collective."
But the social level could be renamed the "collective level" and the
intellectual the "individual level" to emphasize the difference and to
show the dynamic and thus moral superiority of the individual over the
collective.
