That the subject/object-METAPHYSICS has 2 - two - components
an idealist and a materialist one I have harped on since God knows
when, but the SOM removed of its metaphysical 'M' and given the
role of MOQ's intellectual level ...means the VALUE of the S/O
distinction. Neither the idealist nor the materialist is "right" any
longer because the rightness is taken over by the MOQ.

I see your point perfectly and at the start of my SOL "campaign" -
when the formula was "intellect=SOM" - it could look as if I had
overlooked the idealist half, but with the "intellect=the value of the
S/O distinction" form it aught to be crystal clear.

I know, but please David: It's the subject/object dualism (here in
the idealist/materialist form) that the MOQ says is WRONG ...and
what it is supposed to replace with its own DQ/SQ dualism.
Haven't you understood this elementary fact yet?

Exactly. ;-)
Wishing you all a Happy New year
