Woman of Mars said: x-man, Your question:
>>> What does it mean to sustain social patterns when following DQ? Perhaps you think there is one right answer to the question, and you know that truth. What is it? [X-man replieth] Mostly its a criticism about how much of a sloppy reader you are, your comprehension skills are atrocious. And here is why: You did'nt even bother to really understand the quote in the first place and make sure you knew what it meant before you used it as a "truth" statement. You do not seem to understand that whatever you say is a worthy valuable social pattern to sustain It is going to be an intellectual pattern of quality. This trap is a consequence of your point of view. You just lost the arguement. No matter what you say the position is contradictory and a clear mark of a misunderstanding. So Pirsig certainly cant mean kill ALL intellectual patterns both in SOM terms AND MoQ terms (as in the Pragmatic theory of truth which this quote is supposed to counter) So it must mean only SOM intellectual patterns, those abstract concepts that have no corresponding experience, and NOT Intellectual patterns that sustain biological and social patterns (pragmatic theory of truth). So your attack on MoQ's Pragmatic theory of truth using the quote "while sustaining biological and social patterns, Kill all intellectual patterns" is baseless. Founded on a misunderstanding of the quote. . How can u make this work as a useful attack? How do you explain? ...
