Hi Joe. 5 Sep. you wrote:

You are a welcome relief from the chatterbugs who have found a new way to avoid the MOQ (virtual reality, avatars etc.) instead of applying the MOQ to these things. The gods in human and/or animal guises (avatars) belonged to the mythological pre-intellect past when gods and mortals weren't separated. i.e: a virtual/flexible reality. This was replaced by an era where there's only one TRUE (to become "objective") reality and the past became a result of human imagination (to become "subjective"). You are right about Aristotle, he was one of the first SOMist when the new intellectual level had started to wield its influence and knowledge had become approximations to the said truth. The closer to truth the better the theory, but never IT, theories irredeemable belong to the abstract realm. > After reading Pirsig I accepted a direct experience of knowledge.

Yes, the MOQ glasses reveals a DQ/SQ reality which is made up of four static levels. DQ's urge to escape the pending static stage, but creating a new one in the process, we know. We also know that it is immoral for a lower level to "devour" the higher, so it's deeply wrong to use the MOQ for promoting the old social avatarish view of reality. And it's not just Arlo. DMB is just as much a sinner here by his insisting that the MOQ is just another virtual "acting" reality. Bo PS This is my age old worry that a misunderstood MOQ is a "dangerous idea". It's the intellect-bio coalition to quell society moved one stage upwards when the said misunderstood "moq" joins forces with society to undermine intellect. Pirsig may have released an unruly Genie if not the SOL interpretation is approved quickly.
