Hi Matt, Pirsig: Whenever one talks about Dynamic Quality someone else can take whatever is said and make a static pattern out of it and then dialectically oppose that pattern. The best answer to the question, “What is Dynamic Quality?” is the ancient Vedic one—“Not this, not that.”
Steve: Given this RMP statement (and all that talk about Quality being undefined), dmb's objections are just the sort of objections we can _always_ make to what _anyone_ says about DQ. The only way to avoid such objections is to shut the hell up about DQ, but then of course dmb objects to not talking about DQ as well. But it is just absurd from the start for dmb to claim that he has properly grasped something in the name of DQ that you and I have missed given that "DQ" is (among other Pirsigian usages of the term) a placeholder for what is lost as soon as you think you have grasped it. Best, Steve Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org/md/archives.html
