Pirsig said in the Baggini Interview: The alternative to "The Metaphysics of Quality says," would be "I, Robert Pirsig, says," and that repeated many times sounds worse to me...If the term, "static" is being used here as it is used by the Metaphysics of Quality itself, then the answer is, "All metaphysical systems are static intellectual patterns. There isn't any other kind of metaphysics." This is so because the MOQ describes intellect itself as a set of static patterns. Matt: Yes, thank you, Steve. That is the exact place I was thinking of when I talked about the MoQ being simply a rhetorical strategy (as they all must, since it's all rhetoric, right everyone?). Marsha: Of course, even the Dharma is empty. I imagine that's what you're getting at, and I agree.
