    I agree with this.
    (Once we're sure what we mean by intellect, or the itellectual SPV, of course.)

    I've been saying all along that if the lowest form of intellect, the
    kind of "SOMist" rationality that pre-dates the MoQ, is all we're
    going to argue with, we may as well give up. Bo's snowball in hell is
    my chocolate fireguard.

    In my discussions with Sam about re-defining intellect he pointed out
    that Bo's "SOLAQI" stuff was addressing the same issue. I need to dig
    into that.

    It's also part of my catch-22 / recursive / meta-argument - we need to
    be comfortable debating the MoQ from the MoQ perspective (as Pirsig
    clearly wasn't in Lila, IMHO, and I wasn't party to the whole Lila
    squad annotations process.)

    The top level of the MoQ IS the MoQ.
    Get used to it.
