dmb: 'The notion that there can only be one true picture of reality is one of the central problems with SOM. Unlike the MOQ, scientific objectivity allows only one construction of things. This is also a feature of all forms of essentialism. I mean, your insistence that intellect equals SOM is probably, and ironically, a stubborn vestige of the SOM picture of reality.Personally, I don't like the consequences of that equation either. It denigrates the intellect and more or less denies it the capacity to change or evolve or to paint new pictures. Pirsig is saying that intellect is the most dynamic level and that's what makes it the most moral level but your equation turns the intellectual level into the MOQ's own worst enemy. Time to go to work.'
Andre: Couldn't have said it better David, this is what I mean. Confining the intellect to SOM... how is Art possible?
