Hi Platt and Arlo
To be picky about this and given Platt's previous assertion that SOM
didn't exist until Pirsig described it, the time-line should be
something like:
peyote-inspired revelation -> critical thinking -> MoQ -> DQ/SQ
or something very similar. Neither MoQ nor DQ existed until after the critical
thinking stage!

Interesting point, though, it was "critical thinking" that uncovered this

What "developed" the MOQ was Dynamic Quality and Pirsig's response to it.
Otherwise, the MOQ would be just another dull metaphysics like other
intellectually guided ideologies. The missing ingredient from "critical
thinking" is its ignorance of the moral force of DQ. From such ignorance the
flaws of critical thinking flow, resulting, as Angell and Demetis expose, in a
process "infested with paradoxes.".
