Nothing wrong with politics Platt, just partisan politics that is a
product of SOMism. Left right left right left right subject object
subject object .... Zzzzzz
Noticed you didn't bother to respond when I started a thread on
pragmatic capitalism.
But I expect I'm a pinko. Sorry

Hi Craig,
Was Pirsig intellectually lazy and dishonest in generalizing
that capitalism was superior to socialism? I'm sure in doing
so he was aware of your valid point about generalizations.
But as he wrote, "A science without generalization is no
science at all" (Lila, 4).
Anyway, the MOQ is about reality. Politics is part of that.
Pirsig didn't hesitate to comment on it. Nor should we
when we find it relevant to an understanding of the MOQ. .

[Ian] made some good points in your last couple of posts re: the
Left/Right situation on this list and I agree with you.

I also agree.
Saying that someone labelled F has characteristic G,
when there are many examples where they have not-G &
there are many examples where non-F's also have G,
is intellectually lazy & often intellectually dishonest.
