[Case to Platt] Personally, I think the fact that you are willing to ascribe not just value but value judgments and sentience to single celled organisms and electrons is clear evidence that Pirsig overestimated his audience's powers of discernment.
[Arlo] Well, Case. Since I ascribe value-experience to single celled organisms and electrons, I guess you can lump me in with the "overestimated discernment" crowd. Just out of curiosity, if not "value", to what do you attribute the amoeba moving away from acid? If the amoeba can't distinguish Point B as being any better than Point A, why move? Or, if you're moving, why stop? (Clarification question, do you believe only "man" experiences "value"?) moq_discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
