Hi Dan Dan: Motorcycles do not work on themselves. A rational being performs motorcycle maintenance. I am not comparing inorganic patterns to social patterns. I am comparing intellectual patterns to intellectual patterns.
In my opinion are intellectual patterns concerning motorcycle maintanance less dynamic compared to the intellectual patterns concerning the coherence of this phylosophy forum. To backup the intellectual quality patterns of motorcycle maintanance there is a rigourous body of static emperic science. To find coherence in this phylosophical forum we can only rely on our own personal intellectual patterns and compare those to the ones of our fellow forum members. We can create common sense by trying to find out what is being valued by the whole forum. In other words. It has no emperical basis, only a social consensus basis. The only emperical basis for the MOQ phylosophy is the populairity of the novels of RMP which proves that his ideas have become a (smal)part of global culture which is in itself a consensus basis.
