[Krimel] When you ask why the MoQ is paralyzed I don't think you have to look much farther than the mystical subversion of it to see why.
Ron: The whole reason MoQ is paralyzed is the conflict in meaning derived by The abstract/concrete classification of the noun Quality. Pirsig suggests that Quality is both abstract and concrete in meaning. Which follows suit in how, grammatically "Quality" is defined. Quality is an abstract noun formed by the noun forming suffix "-ity" To an adjective or verb. a suffix used expressing state or condition. [Origin: 1250–1300; ME qualite < OF < L quālitās, equiv. to quāl(is) of what sort + -itās -ity] We see how we conceive Quality is abstractly via adjective or verb. So it Is an abstract noun which is descriptive in action. A noun is generally perceived as subject or an object. What we end up with conceptually Is a sense of objective intangibility like the noun "Art". This is my whole point, that the formation of a noun automatically forces the first split in conception which is, in our culture, abstract/concrete. There are some nouns that strattle both meanings like Quality and Art. Objective thought teaches that abstract nouns do not exist in space Therefore do not exist. it's those pesky nouns that strattle both That eat up objectivism's head. The Dynamic/static split is the same split as mind/matter and Subject/object it is also the classic/romantic split. It is the noun class and what started it all was the fact That the noun Quality like the noun Art covers both. This is what got Pirsig to thinking. Quality then defies adequate SOM description. It then unifies S/O. It illustrates that for our culture to form an intellectual thought, experience must first be parsed out in grammatical rules of forming understandable reference of SUBJECTS AND OBJECTS. Words and experiences that defy this type of classification are Thrown out as meaningless. Nouns like Quality, Art, GoD, are all grammatical platypus SOM views them as meaningless bunk.
