Bo, I have my blinkers on but not my blinders, I understand your SOL, unless you forgot that I once was your advocate.
until it dawned on me that in your interpretation western civilisation is at the top of the evolutionary heirarchy, objectivisms split of s/o is replaced with SQ/DQ and value is merely subjective, a pit fall to the greater understanding that MoQ (the DQ/SQ split) IS reality. problems: 1. Objectivism is still intact(value of the s/o split) only now SOL proposes that physical phenomena be explained in DQ/SQ terminology. (some how this has greater explainitory power) 2. The cultivation of cultural-centric view of the universe and it's superiority over other cultures as evolutionarily more advanced (same as SOM) 3. Personal Value is still rendered subjective and a SOM pitfall which still keeps people isolated and alone in the DQ/SQ universe. (same as SOM) 4. it glorifies scientific positivism (same as SOM) 5. the 5th level problem (for obviously in this interpretation the 4 levels do NOT cover all of reality) what was Pirsig thinking? Put it all together and Pirsigs MoQ is a incomplete mess full of holes. That only Bodvar and his SOL can fix, wait, that IS bodvars SOL. his fix, since there is only ONE "metaphysic" (one reality) that term must be bumped up to the "M" in MoQ. (which is reality itself) the description of physical reality in terms of it's REAL split DQ/SQ. but has not a level within it's own system because, of container logic. questions emerged, what exactly was this "pre" intellectual experience Pirsig was talking about? did he mean historically? most of his work then contradicts itself. well, ignore that part. It doesent makes sense, Pirsig was dilusional. He did'nt realize the greatness of his earlier postulate that subjects and objects emerge from static quality, DQ's first "spawn". Question doesent that make things and thoughts about things static quality? is'nt that the same as saying things and thoughts about things are composed of objective static substance? Answer Bo sez not the same, static quality is not substance its what we can percieve of dynamic quality. Like waves in the ocean. Question But thats still naming physical reality, the reality we percieve as universally absolute for all observers. duhoo! never mind that, you're just ignorant Ron, you don't understand the MoQ like Bo does. you sir, are a disapointment, a mental midget go to the back of the class! it's the greater explanitory power we concern ourselves with! subjective value is SOM's tenticals! Question: Well, how are we to get scientists and physicist to start defining physical reality in terms of SQ/DQ? Answer: Bo sez: Through evangelism like Paul the apostle. eventually it'll take hold because it's the next step in human evolution. oh well exactly HOW does defining physical reality in terms of DQ/SQ have greater explanitory power? If you do not understand modern physics how do you know? Bo's explaination: I don't know anything about quantum weirdness, it just does, trust me, I'm brilliant!. It's the next step in human evolution and you must be an idiot not to realize the enormity of this breakthrough. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ----- Original Message ---- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, September 1, 2009 3:54:33 AM Subject: Re: [MD] [MD} The relativity of the MoQ Marsha and Ron. Marsha said to me (before Ron turned meteorologist) > I'm still with you. The Intellectual Level is about objectifying > abstract symbols: To be forthcoming I may have tried to accommodate this but I feel lost, why not the infinite simple: Intellect is the ability to distinguish between S and O - in this case - abstract and concrete. My dictionary says about "INTELLECT" The power of mind to reason in contrast with feeling and instinct. "Power of mind" we may omit for what is not PoM? "Feeling" is MOQ's Social level and "Instinct" is the Biological, thus from inside Intellect seen feelings are SUBJECTIVE while itself is OBJECTIVE (instincts are too primitive to be considered). However, we see things from above all static levels and from there intellect is the VALUE of this distinction. The Social level itself isn't subjective because it is from before the S/O distinction. Ron has donned blinkers and not willing to see, but for those with the full vision it's obvious. However, it's the SIMPLICITY that prevents the true understanding of the MOQ. However as an exercise for Ron: In ZAMM (in the diagram page) Pirsig depicts SOM as equal to intellect (the only level at that stage) As not to distract you I'll return to the "Chinese philosophy" later.
