Marsha: Be it the case, dmb, that you want to accuse me of reifying your "monkey mind", I shall remind you that I hold all static patterns of value (stuff in the encyclopedia) as hypothetical (supposed but not necessarily real or true). Static value can still be ranked, of course, like your suggesting Dave T. has or should "pick sides" is a poor quality, manipulative event representing social appeal.

Marsha likes to paint all static knowledge as hypothetical, as illusions, as reifications and falsifications, as wispy unrealities - but that's exactly what my criticisms are aimed at BECAUSE it's a gross distortion of Pirsig's picture. If Marsha's picture were true, child abuse would be an illusion, war and genocide is just hypothetical, rape and murder are just reified projections or something. That's what I mean by nihilism! Nothing matters in Marsha's weird world. It's morally repugnant. Satan's lawyer refused to take the case. But that's Marsha's story and she's sticking to it. Way to pick sides, Dave. You obviously have excellent taste in philosophies. > [Arlo previously] > Marsha is a 'child' in your analogy? > > [Dave T] > Oops, that's right within the static levels of MoQ all knowledge, all words, > all communications are only analogies.
