I'm saying that all levels so far have manifested
themselves independent of the intellectual level,
except for the intellectual level itself naturally.
But any level above the intellectual would be dependant
on the intellectual, I just don't think we would see it.
And yes, the phrase "nothing is inventing anything" is not
what I would call good english. What I meant was that all
levels became manifested as soon as the right conditions
appeared, that is, as soon as the level below was advanced
enough to support it.
You could say however, that Pirsig invented the levels in the
same way that Newton invented gravity.
And please, bear in mind that what *I* say is only what *I*think. I
stopped starting every sentence with "I think"
because I thought everyone realized that. I hope you're not
thinking of me as the "ghost" Bodvar mentioned in an earlier
post.
