    Hi Rich,

    > The intellectual person is an intellectual static pattern of value by virtue of its ability to
    skillfully manipulate abstract symbols. This is all the account you need.

    Unfortunately I don't think that account makes sense. For reasons I've gone into before and will go
    into again.

    >However the flotsam that is a human subject/object is merely a metaphysical relic handed down to us
    and whose existence depends on that, and it shameful that this preoccupation obscures the primary
    reality of Quality.

    Sorry to have provoked a sense of shame in you. Be consoled by the thought that shame only makes
    sense on the social level ;-)

    Sam
