"Any person of any philosophic persuasion who sits on a hot stove will
verify without any intellectual argument whatsoever that he is in an
undeniably low-quality situation: that the value of his predicament is
negative. This low quality is not just a vague, woolly-headed,
crypto-religious, metaphysical abstraction. It is an experience. It is not
a judgment about an experience. It is not a description of experience. The
value itself is an experience. As such it is completely predictable. It is
verifiable by anyone who cares to do so. It is reproducible. Of all
experience it is the least ambiguous, least mistakable there is. Later the
person may generate some oaths to describe this low value, but the value
will always come first, the oaths second. Without the primary low
valuation, the secondary oaths will not follow."?
(LILA, Chapter 5)?

The essential point, "The value itself is an experience." They are
synonyms. At least that is my understanding.?

But now, I would like to read your paper comparing Nietzsche and Pirsig.
Please make it available.?

Hi Marsha,
Do you think there is such a thing as Negative Value?
Hi Squonk,
I imagine it would depend on the scale chosen for measuring, if measuring
was the intent?
Now where is that paper comparing Nietzsche and Pirsig?
