Hi Manning,
I see money a little differently I guess. It seems to me that lots of stuff
that properly resides at the social level was thought up. But that doesn't
mean those things should reside at the intellectual level. We had brains
before we had an intellectual level, and we used those brains to construct
society. Money, to me, is a tool. A handy tool to replace the
inconvenience of barter. It is an abstract notion, true, but that is not my
understanding of the criteria for the intellectual level. Remember how
Pirsig says the intellectual level didn't come into being until the end of
the Victorian era? I think he was pointing out that the intellectual level
arose when the idea began to flourish that SOM "truth" should be free from
the taboos of society.
Your thoughts?
Wishing you happiness,
Mary
