Platt:
SOM is the current mental framework and means of communication in which we
operate from day to day....
Pirsig:
I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT THIS IS INCORRECT because many forms of intellect do not
have a subject-object construction.. (My emphasis)
Horse:
This is crystal clear, no interpretation necessary. Platt champions Bo's
position, Pirsig thinks it's incorrect. Full stop. Period. End of conversation.
Whether Pirsig is correct or not is irrelevant. He doesn't agree with Bo's
position. Bo should defend his own position, in opposition to Pirsigs view on
it's own merit and not dishonestly distort Pirsigs position.
Bo should not continue to remain in denial about what is obvious to anyone who
can read. This is why I have asked him to refrain from saying that Pirsig
agrees with something that he quite plainly disagrees with. This is not
censorship, it is intellectual honesty and good manners.
Ron:
I believe this is my biggest gripe against Bodvars position, honesty. I agree,
he should be allowed to argue his position, but as yet he has been
unable to. His position is clearly different than Bob's and those here that
side with Bob do so because it is consistant with his whole body of work.
This itself holds a great deal of relevancy. Those that side with Bodvar have
yet to present any kind of consistant relevant meaning to the whole
of the work. Nothing but interpretations of select Pirsig quotes that are
inconsistent with the remainder of the work. Leaving one to question
the justifications of those who side with this arguement since their reasons do
not seem to be connected with Pirsigs reasons.
Again, it's dishonest to openly misrepresent someones work, even if you do
disagree. Some think that MoQ is the justification to say
anything you like. It's not. Those that take truth as relative neglect the good.
