I see that Rick is a bit exasperated over the strange "shoving of
intellect" you ascribe to him. I see him not only shoving but pushing
intellects ;-)
For myself I do neither, rather take Q-intellect down from its mind-
position to the static level position it is supposed to fill. You most aptly
point to ZAMM where P.saw the "classical" (also called "intellectual
reality") as a danger to the Quality concept. Wonder why the
annotating P. does exactly that by defining intellect as "thinking" and
that the MOQ is an intellectual pattern - a thought?
Sincerely
Bo
