DMB said: Right. How much time have you spent explaining how you don't have time to explain anything? And may I remind you what it is you don't have time to explain? Your views. The reasons for dismissing Pirsig's central term. That's what you can't be bothered to do here at MOQ.org.
And yet it's me who's off on the wrong foot? Outrageous. Matt: M-hm, m-hm, m-hm. Yes, see, this is what I can handle--small, to the point, something I can really digest and get my puny brain around. First question--how much time I've spent explaining my lack of time: way too much, let me tell you, but it's easy time, not the more arduous time it takes to say something new and substantive. (I have high standards, I guess.) Second rhetorical question--what I don't have time for: "[my] views" (I can't put my finger on it, but there's something ironic there...). That's tough, because I haven't been asked for an honest explanation of my views. Certainly not an easy one. Because, honestly, I don't have a long, expository articulation of my views, aside from stuff on my bloggy-dingy. Well-defined, catechisms of views is largely not what amateur philosophy is about, hence the shift from ZMM to Lila. You're so hard on my, David, I just can't do it. Sniff, sniff. Second expansion of "second rhetorical question"--my reasons for dismissing Pirsig's central term. Yikes, I'm sorry, I hadn't realized I had. Try this: http://pirsigaffliction.blogspot.com/2007/01/what-is-quality.html You won't like it, but you never wanted to. Third expansion of "second rhetorical question"--what I won't do at moq.org. Heh--that's just moronic. I have recent glosses on my numerous essays on moq.org here: http://pirsigaffliction.blogspot.com/p/moqorg-essays.html But, perhaps, you meant the MD. How I won't explain myself at the MD. Let me ask this question of the crowd: How can we know so much about me if I'm so mysterious and will never explain myself? Seems weird. Of course, if one was always looking in the wrong direction, or across from a burning bridge on the other side of Steve's river, say, then maybe not so weird. Am I being elusive? Allusive? Why would somebody care if I was? Is my opinion important somehow? I doubt it. Matt p.s. I love being called "outrageous." Gives me a good excuse to start behaving like it. _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.
