Dan,
Dan: According to the MOQ, ideas come before matter. Thus, matter is contained in static intellectual patterns. But it is a good idea to believe matter comes first. Thus, mind is contained in static inorganic patterns. So, instead of saying the subjective emerges from the objective, it is the other way around. The objective emerges from the subjective. Therefore, there is no contradiction. All schools are right on the mind-matter question.
Please provide sources for your dubious claim, according to which the MOQ states that ideas come before matter. In chapter 12 of LILA Pirsig writes:
"Ideas are patterns of value. They are at a higher level of evolution than social patterns of value."
A higher level of evolution does not come before a lower level of evolution. Protozoa came before humans. What kind of ideas did they fathom?
