[Arlo previously] Rather, we get people who have latched onto this rather literally and are using it to justify two 'competing' views rather than understanding their symbiotic and synthetic co-occurence as, I think, both Pirsig and Northrop would've hoped.
[djh] Do you honestly think Marsha prefers two 'competing' views? I don't think so. [Arlo] I was talking about YOU, David. I've never once seen Marsha say she was in 'context one', but I see YOU say it all the time. You've latched onto Paul's idea, revised it into something like a "dynamic/East context" and a "static/West context" (which is wrong), and you use it to compartmentalize people incorrectly. In fact, all you're really doing is replicating the 'romantic/classic' distinction of ZMM and saying the are both legitimate ways to understand Quality, rather than seeing the synthesis that Pirsig (and Northrop) crafted. There are not "two contexts", there is one "context" illuminated by these two symbiotic ways of understanding together.
