Eddo, As Dave Buchanan is well aware, I don't really have the emotional energy - at the moment - to deal with people such as yourself with the typical egotistical ideas that you were introducing on the Facebook page of robertpirsig.org. Hence my "referral" of your "queries" to MOQ Discuss and, in particular, Joe Maurer, (with his interest in the limitations of mathematical language) who appears to have some sort of "handle" on where you are coming from.
Anyway, the bottom line is, did you learn anything constructive from your posts at MOQ Discuss? If not, are there any INTELLECTUAL issues which weren't addressed? Best wishes, Anthony N.B. Keep in mind that I read about 10-15% of the posts at MOQ Discuss so please don't presume that I've read anything you posted here. ---------------------------------------- Dave Buchanan stated June 5th: > dmb quoted Pirsig: > "We must understand that when a society undermines intellectual freedom for > its own purposes it is absolutely morally bad, but when it represses > biological freedom for its own purposes it is absolutely morally good. > > > Eddo Rats replied: > > A view weeks ago i was trying to express my intellectual freedom here on my > findings about the relationship between SOM and MOQ on invitation of Ant.
