Hi, all -
If the MOQ is the bee's knees - and it kind of is - then "free will" doesn't
arise as a philosophical problem anymore, certainly not from within it. So
if we're really in there, we're free. We're so free we don't worry about
freedom anymore.
This is the cool thing about totalistic systems, like Bob's or Rand's or
Stirner's (and, Marsha V, that's why I'm so interested in them): they are
resolvers.
Of course, I'm not saying we should abandon criticism or the application of
outside categories. But it's like Sartre said toward the beginning of "Being
and Nothingness" where he wanted to get rid of the Cartesian cogito: there's
reflective consciousness, and there's pre-reflective consciousness. When the
L-narrator was drunkish and dancing with Lila (ah, so beautiful), he was
getting toward the pre-reflective pole.
"Lila" plays out in the element of tides, even though it's not yet on the
open sea.
( Imaginary never to be written third Bob-book: sailing off from the East
Coast, round the world, and ending with the sight of SF twinkling in the
distance.)
But anyway - isn't it clear that the MOQ is at once a great challenge and a
balm?
