Hey SA, Sorry bout that, This is mostly my interpretation. Bo or anyone else Has yet to weigh in. I strongly believe that this is what is going on, a paradigm shift. It describes they urge to propose another level but due to it's nature Of transcending cultural definitions you can't. I truly believe Pirsigs concepts of MoQ and Quality Is just as you put it, a culture of one or better still, A united cultural concept based on the commonality of the of (pre-intellectual/immediate/pure) experience. That we all as human beings share in a more universal And personal Way. In other words as a concept, the MoQ is cross cultural By focusing on the root of human experience through social Self awareness.
It's tough to say how correct I might be when no one Is challenging it. I feel like the ugly kid at the party(or the stinky one). -Ron Junkos puff to morning cold -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Heather Perella Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2007 9:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MD] Knowledge as MOQ's intellect Ron, I asked you in another post in this thread, who came up with the SOL interpretation as being an interpretation of culture and transculture? Was it you or Bo? Can't you answer these questions or maybe you haven't had the time to get to these questions yet?
