Marsha said:
I was not addressing the philosophical problems associated
determinism/indeterminism. And I clearly stated that I was using the standard
dictionary definition.
dmb replied:
Well, that doesn't make any sense either.
Marsha then said:
Don't much impressed by what makes sense to you. ...I meant in the context of
indivisible, undefinable and unknowable: indeterminate, and not addressing the
philosophical problems associated with determinism/indeterminism. So crucify
me for the word 'vague' being included in the defintion..
Then Marsha quoted from Anthony McWatt's MOQ Textbook...
"In addition to the Dynamic Quality viewpoint of the MOQ corresponding to what
Nagarjuna terms sunyata ...(Nagarjuna.... "Moreover, Nagarjuna (1966, p.251)
shares Pirsig’s perception that the indeterminate ...." (MoQ Textbook)
dmb says:
First you evade my criticism by denying that you're using the term
philosophically and claiming that you're just using the ordinary dictionary
definition instead. Then you evade the criticism of that usage by quoting a
philosophy textbook in which Pirsig's philosophy is compared to Nagarjuna's
philosophy. Which is it, the dictionary or the textbook? Are you claiming to
understand the philosophical meaning or not? Doesn't this flip-floppy
switch-eroo pretty much prove that you're dishonest and unprincipled? Doesn't
it show that you're willing to spew whatever bullshit excuse you can think of
at the moment?
Troll. Creep. Liar.
