No, the intellectual patterns are built on the values that hold together
human society. Muscle contractions and neural signals are biological

Sorry Magnus but I have doubts about your view because I cannot see how
it explains reality better than Pirsig's. If you throw away Pirsig's

throw away his entire MoQ. And what do you replace it with?
