hi platt,
okay, your knowledge of the book is greater than mine, i confess to that
(i've only read it once) but simply showing that rm pirsig has written that
doesnt mean it is true (if you disagree with that, you are saying pirsig IS
dynamic quality). i dont believe that dynamic quality is always new, if it
is, how can static patterns have dynamic quality? or atleast, how can they
appear to us to have dynamic quality?
with regard to being able to perfect science, think about this, the more
people there are making discoveries about science, the more discoveries
there appears still to be made so on. as we continue to find out more and
more at an ever increasing rate, the amount of questions left unanswered
also increases at an ever increasing rate. and as it happens, the rate of
increase of questions is greater than the rate of increase of answers and
that rate too is increasing at an ever increasing rate. at what point can
this stop?
Regards
Rich.

>From Lila, Chap. 9:
"Dynamic Quality is the pre-intellectual cutting edge of realty, the
source of all things, completely simple and always new. It was the
moral force that had motivated the brujo in Zuni. It contains no
pattern of fixed rewards and punishments. Its only perceived good
is freedom and its only perceived evil is static quality itself-any
pattern of one-sided fixed values that tries to contain and kill the
ongoing free force of life."
I disagree with your statement, "We can only ever model nature,
we can never perfect it." Granted, much of nature is locked into
unchangeable static patterns. But we are nature, too, and we can
improve ourselves by responding to Dynamic Quality. Or so the
MOQ claims.
