[Platt] Like I said, "static response." I think maybe you're beginning to get it.
[Arlo] Why do you hate the angels, Platt? There is no such thing as a "static response". So horrible. So bad. So many weeping angels. There is "response", and after that we see patterns of preferred responses as "static quality". AFTER. But all responses are responses to immediate experience, which is DQ. [Arlo had said] The entire point of ZMM was ways to overcome our analogues and get to the zero-moment, the "cutting edge of reality", so that we may, so that we increase the probability that we, see something new, that we open ourselves to the infinite possibility of this front-edge of ALL experience. [Platt] Being open-minded is good. Too bad you're not, as MP has learned. [Arlo] Talk radio 1. Dialogue 0. [Arlo had said] Every moment of every day of every week you are at the DQ moment. Most of the time you respond using established analogues, to be sure. And those preferred responses are what we call SQ. [Platt] Ditto a "static response." [Arlo] No, a response that's preferred, probable, and we see this AFTER as static quality. There are no "static responses". [Platt] Glad you acknowledge the lord. But instead of your fervid imagination that described DQ as "undefined chance," let Pirsig tell us what DQ is: [Arlo] I do. DQ is the "ongoing Dynamic edge of experience". The "cutting-edge of reality". It contains "infinite possibility". It is the undefined. The uncertain. AKA, chance. And it is THIS that gives man agency. [Platt] "(DQ) was the moral force that had motivated the brujo in Zuni." Lila, 9) [Arlo] How lucky for the Brujo to be given the gift of divine intervention. You can keep your decontextual quotes. I prefer understand the entirety of both books as a synthesis.
