[Mary Replies] The levels are but a representation of reality. Given a choice, would you prefer to access the representation or the thing represented?
[Krimel] I thought Matt handled this pretty well. It sounds like one of those thought experiments like what if you went back and time and killed your grandfather or something. It is a choice that simply makes no sense. Not even in principle. Look if you could travel back in time like rewinding time you would have to pass through the same undetermined random choice points you did getting here in the first place. In reverse each of those point could turn out differently. There is no guarantee that if you went back to your grandfather's time that he would even be your grandfather. An once you start time moving forward again, well, you could be your own grandfather (or grandmother). Except that when you got back to your original time you might not be you. See that's what make Ham's ideas about the Absolute perspective so nonsensical. But thanks for asking. As for your nonsense question try rereading Pirsig's account of Hume and Kant again. He covers it pretty well.
