[Mark] So, given all of that, do you not think that the reader has some obligation?
[Arlo] Dialogue is an ongoing process of negotiated meaning, sure. But to say your "story cannot be subjected to rules of truth", well, where does that leave the people who try to decipher your words? [Mark] It would appear that you are placing the levels beneath the power of words. [Arlo] What? You really don't read what I write. I am beginning to think this is just another inane game. "Beneath the power of words"? I don't even know what such a thing would mean. "Language" is a very broad term that describes how patterns are built on the social and intellectual levels. But these forms of semiosis are different. [Mark] Me thinks that you do not understand MoQ. [Arlo] Methinks you don't. Besides some pretty untenable "reasoning", you lapse in and out between Bo's SOL, subjectivism, objectivism, you say man is nothing but a biological pattern, and below you state the levels have always existed, the intellectual level existed before the first subatomic particle formed. I have no idea what "MOQ" you are talking about, even if I try to think of it as alternative to Pirsig's ideas it is so incoherent I can't even begin to figure it out. Then you accuse me, in typical fashion, of in effect just being to dumb to grasp your brilliance. For all intents and purposes, Mark, this conversation has no where to go.
