How about "reason".
"Intellectual value is reason and that which propagates reason"
I find "Thinking" too vague. It could be interpreted as anything that
goes on at the level of the brain and that isn't right.
"Reason" is only a tiny step away from "thought" but it implies more of
a value judgement. For example you can say the MoQ is reason and the
Subject-Object Metaphysics (SOM) is reason, but the MoQ is more reasoned
than the SOM. I guess you could also say, "the MoQ is better thought
than the SOM" but then there's no indication of what makes it better.
