Arlo to Platt: But that just underscores Krimel's point. "Dynamic" does not always mean "good". Well, from the POV of those dictators, the market's provision of nuclear arms may be "good", or from the POV of someone wanting a child for a sex-slave or a darkie to do his menial labor. But if that's "good", then I think I'd prefer a regulated "evil" world where the market is regulated by intellectuals against these things [and copyright, another tasty "goddam interllectual elitist" regulation on the free market].
Andre: Hi Platt, Arlo Krimel and all, You keep on suggesting that DQ is something that has tendencies or a menu, or a preference or something responsible for some sort of teleological intent. It hasn't! DQ is effortless and has infinite diversified creativity. It gives rise to 'anger and avarice and the emotions of the murderer and the warrior as wel as to the affection and charity of the saint...picturing the divine in all these different aspects...'. It is a part of man's nature and the nature of all things which can be counted on always as a guide for life at any time or place under all circumstances, because it alone is neither partial nor transitory' ( F.S.C.Northrop, The Meeting of East and West'p 343). The realisation of this is the basis of freedom.Some use it to further their own thing oblivious of others, some use it to further their own thing considering others. Some create but never possess, many work, yet not take credit. Work is done, then forgotten.Therefore it lasts forever. (Tao te Ching). And it lasts forever simply because it is timeless continuum. We are only differentiated and transitory derived from this undifferentiated and 'eternal'. You can kick against anything you have no direct control over but as Pirsig says the good starts in your heart, then in your head and then flows through your hands, from the internal to the external(eternal) through the Tao (which literally means 'bridge'). Static patterns do not afford us freedom, only DQ, the undifferentiated aesthetic continuum, can do this. It is up to us to walk the bridge wisely. For what it is worth.
