ROGER REPLIES TO AVID ON THE NEXT LEVEL

Hi Avid,

AVID WROTE:
>1. We don't know how many layers are [here Pirsig is mistaken]. We can only
>imagine FROM OUR CURRENT POINT OF VIEW, four layers. But nobody can be sure
>that there are more ladder steps in either directions.

ROGER:
The levels are sortings of our conceptual models.  They are not sorting 
Reality or DQ itself (which is preconceptual and unsortable).  How can you 
critique Pirsig's conceptual cuts on that which has not been conceived yet?  
I don't think Pirsig would deny that the MOQ could evolve to handle new 
concepts or new layers, just that they are not needed today.

AVID:
>2. If this model is right, then "the next freedom" will be freedom of
>Cultural SPQ, freedom of beliefs, freedom of ideas, but it will be managed
>by Cultural agents [complex creatures of the Cultural plane]

ROGER:
This sounds like a description of the Intellectual level.  But i could be 
wrong.

Rog
