Ian, good points
I sense Platt and Bo DO believe in what their saying. and in THAT sense they are not being dishonest. BUT What we should ask ourselves, really reflect, why they hold the values that they do. Because it is clear, it's not for rational reasons. - best Ron ----- Original Message ---- From: Ian Glendinning <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, July 9, 2010 12:03:57 PM Subject: [MD] Side Step One more time. Bo and Platt regularly divert attention away from the dishonesty of their argument with this selective quote from Lila's Child: "God knows the MOQ has never had two better friends than Bo and Platt, so this is no criticism of their otherwise brilliant thinking." Which is Bob's polite rhetorical lead in to damning them with faint praise, since Bob's immediate following sentence is ... "It's just that I see a lowering of the quality of the MOQ itself if you follow this path" Whatever the relative merits of Bo's SOL interpretation and any orthodox Pirsigian view (arguments welcome, for ever), Bob does not endorse it, in fact he explicitly brands it low quality. To claim otherwise is a simple lie.
