All: Those who have read and understand the MOQ realize that science is often a lagging indicator. Take for example an article in the Boston Globe entitled "Inside the baby mind." Among the points it makes:
Babies are more aware, more conscious of the world than adults. Baby brains can take in a much wider spectrum of sensation. They are more aware than we are. Babies are able to assimilate vast amounts of information with ease. Children are much better than adults to pick up on all the extraneous stuff going on. Baby brain comes with another advantage: utter absorption in the moment. In some situations it might be better for adults to regress to a newborn state of mind. When we need to create something completely new, thinking like a baby is our best option. So what's new? Pirsig either said or suggested all this in Chapter 9 of Lila, summing up with: "From the baby's point of view, something, he knows not what, compels attention. This generalized "something," White-head's "dim apprehension," is Dynamic Quality." You can read the article at: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2009/04/26/inside_the _baby_mind/?page=full Someday science may also catch up to the MOQ view that the world is a moral structure and evolves because it is good to do so. But, don't hold your breath.
