Struan,
It is interesting to note that the MOQ seems to allow almost every conceivable
standpoint into its
framework, as evidenced here over the last few weeks (years), and one has to question
why Pirsig
claims that everything becomes fantastically clear under the MOQ when it demonstrably
doesn't. We
have had everything from fatalism and hard-determinism through to soft-determinism and
ethical
libertarianism; and from no self to Zen and the art of self recovery, all while
examining the issue
of free will and all claiming to be under the MOQ banner. Is it just that we are a
particularly
stupid bunch of people or is it that the only thing the MOQ makes clear is our almost
total
subjectivity? (and if anyone dares to tell me that I am trapped in SOM for that last
point, I will
jump up and down, a la John Cleese, before thrusting a dictionary in front of them,
open at the word
'irony'). Many truths is one thing, but this is silly.
