[Chris] Yes. Good to clarify this. Seems Platt has lost sight of this in all the "freedom" yelling =)
[Krimel] As Kris Kristopherson said "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." But in Platt's neocon new speak I tend to think it may actually be something far more sinister. [Chris] A Static Pattern is Good. That we all know. If it is too static it will quite probably die. Good and well. [Krimel] 'Static Pattern' is kind of redundant when you think about it. But we perceive the world in terms of patterns. Humans are pattern recognition machines. We see patterns instinctively. We create them if none exist. As Pirsig points out the problem arises from our failure to recognize that we have static patterns of perception that if allowed to calcify show us nothing but a world of illusion. [Chris] The funny thing I have noticed in recent debates here is not only the anti-intellectual positions that some have (too much ZMM and too little Lila?), but also the anti-static positions that some seem to have. Seems strange. [Krimel] Actually I tend to see too much Lila and not enough ZMM but that's just me. BWT welcome aboard! Even while lurking I have noticed that the 'newcomers' especially you and Jorge are valuable additions to our dysfunctional community. Don't take the 'newcomer' comments from others to seriously since if the 'old timers' where not explaining their positions to you they would only be restating them to each other. Besides relative to Bo and Magnus and Platt we are all newcomers. On the other hand I recommend that you browse the archives and read every post by me and my former self, Case. You need never reach of the Ambien again.
