No, not all emotions are of the biological level, though they all need
the
biological level, and of course the levels are overlapping and
interrelated. But I do think that greed could be seen as a biological
pattern, the basic drive for survival is greatly benefited by it. But
when
the social level comes along, it is important that it (the social level)
can
get this under control. Similarly it would seem to be the intellectual
levels mission to, when reshaping social structures, to direct this drive
at
something intellectually Good. Ideally though, the MOQ will show the need
for balance, because of course the intellectual level cannot build only
for
intellectual Good, that has been the problem before, there must be a MOQ
perspective.

What emotions do you think are NOT of the biological level? Pirsig wrote:
"The MOQ sees emotions as a biological response to quality and not the
same
thing as quality. There are many cases, particularly in economic activity
where values occur without any emotion." (LS, Note 141)
Thanks.
I don't know - what's your point?
