Hello Mark-Squonk
About me not accommodating art, I don't want it to be part of the
static hierarchy that's all. Your Intellect where all things are is not my
view of it and not the place for aesthetics. Now, I had written a reply to
your last comment, but dropped it, but here it is ...for your benefit.

About big TRUTH you may be right, I should have said: "Intellect's
value of an objective reality independent of subjective opinion ...etc."

In my opinion "Truth" is too grand, it does not belong in the static
realm, but is another Quality facet.

If Intellect is to be a static level it's "assertions" cannot contradict
themselves. One pattern can't say that "Quality is Reality", while
another says "Truth is ..." and a third: "Art is ..." As said I believe that
both None of these are intellectual patterns. Quality is what creates
ALL static manifestations, and Art and Truth are facets of the Quality
jewel.

No doubt many have had quality-like insights, but none other than
Pirsig has worked out a metaphysics from it.
