Hi Ham and all,
Pirsig proposes a metaphysics of DQ/SQ. DQ is indefinable not unknowable.
The independent agent is DQ/SQ. There is something in our actions that
enable the indefinable. Free will enables action and an evolutionary
scenario limits free will. I can't jump on my horse and ride off in all
directions! Predetermination denies a DQ/SQ metaphysics. I know the
indefinable and can act on it through analogy and metaphor.
