Ian, Jorge, I'm by no means an absolutist on this issue, I see Quality and energy as being very similar, Jorge disagrees but hey, I'm here to alter my perceptions. Chauvinism may be the appropriate term for it. But every time I hear Quality or energy described, the description sounds very similar. Trying to get a grasp on static patterns of value in physical terms (is what Pirsig has led me to believe it is) is rather difficult without This metaphor. Just what exactly are static patterns of value in the physical universe then? What analogy is best suited for this concept If any? -Ron
Jorge: Quite glad to hear, Ron, that you are not an absolutist in this question of Quality and Energy being very similar. I am afraid I am though, in more than a way. I very much resent the tendency in our culture to try to represent everything in the world in terms of 'physical terms". I consider it a sort of negative trait of our "intellectualism". Ron: 'nuff said, Jorge. I'm afraid continuing this discussion Is rather pointless if you are in an absolute static Preconception about the topic. Explaining myself Would just be a waste of time, I wish you would Of come right out and said this from the beginning.
