SOM is a social pattern.
Arlo replied:
I've been avoiding this, and I think Dan gave a great reply already, but since
you're saying this again let me say, "no". "SOM" is an intellectual pattern of
values that holds subjects and/or objects and primary metaphysical entities.
dmb says:
Thanks, Arlo. I agree. SOM is the root cause of a defect in rationality. It
refers to an ontological dualism and yes, as the name indicates so clearly,
"subject-object metaphysics" is a philosophical term. It's associated with the
modern Western scientific worldview but the roots of it can be traced all the
way back to the first Greek philosophers, as Pirsig and others have shown. The
notion that it's a social pattern is real head-scratcher, I think.
