> Teleology is tale for children and religious fanatics. > Krimel Teleology is tale for children, religious fanatics and Pirsig. Science has yet to answer, "Why survive?" and " . . . sweeps the whole matter under the carpet." (Lila, 11)
[Krimel] Indeed Pirsig's abdominal misunderstanding of evolution has served as a major stumbling block for the MoQ. The MoQ IS about evolution. It is about how stability forms and is able to persist in the face of change. Evolution is about static and dynamic patterns in nature and biology. The MoQ has the capacity to provide a metaphysical underpinning this aspect of biology. Pirsig's dreadful use of teleology, the drive toward "betterness" and his ridiculous notion that life is both anti-entropic and in conflict with the laws of nature, all serve to weaken the impact and potential of the MoQ.
