[Marsha] There was no indication that I applied anything like an evil label on Hofstadter.
[Arlo] No, that's Platt's big-bad academic nonsense, but Hosftadter is about as non-SOM as you can get. This is NOT Pirsig v. The World, by the way, there are others who's non-SOM ideas can help expand rationality the way Pirsig intended. [Marsha] You might ask yourself where such nonsensical labeling is coming from. It is your applied patterning, not mine. [Arlo] "SOM" has become a ridiculous dismissive technique by the SOL jockeys. This is so obvious it hardly merits mentioning, except that here the attempt is against someone whose un-SOM thinking could actually compliment Pirsig, strengthen his ideas, is subjected to this. Platt's bias, of course, comes from his attempt to theologize the MOQ, you, I think, are just blinded by staring at the one SOM tree and calling it the forest. You have extreme tunnel vision, and it does not serve you well.
