DQ is not part of Pirsig's intellectual level. > To then say, as Pirsig does, that the MoQ is (just) an Intellectual pattern > of values ( In opposition to SOM because the SOM doesn't recognise > values) is to reduce the MoQ to the SOM level because it cannot allow for > DQ. In my simple reasoning: it only allows for the SQ... and the SQ has been > raped by SOM!! IMHO. The MOQ is an intellectual description of reality of which the MOQ is a part. If the MOQ is not an intellectual pattern, then what do you suppose it is? Pirsig claims that everyting fits into a four volume encylcopedia plus DQ.
