Platt: Guess you missed the part in Lila where Pirsig talks about socialism vs. free markets. He also talks about human rights and why SOM intellectuals are incapable of governing properly (they lack morals). I could go on. But the most relevant premise of the MOQ supporting Nick's thesis is the nature of DQ: "It contains no pattern of fixed rewards and punishments. Its only perceived good is freedom and its only perceived evil is static quality itself-any pattern of one-sided fixed values that tries to contain and kill the ongoing free force of life." (Lila, 9)
Ron: And Platt, you know WHY those intellectuals are imoral? because they thought of themselves as individuals, they valued their individual biological desires over social quality. Like greed and hedonism. Gomorrah my freind. ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, June 8, 2009 11:32:58 AM Subject: Re: [MD] The New Socialism - Wired Magazine On 8 Jun 2009 at 8:20, X Acto wrote: Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
