[Craig previously] > What test would support or refute Pirsig's position?
Case, I was hoping that other MOQers would jump in here. Maybe they've all been through this before. Or maybe they're letting us stew in our own juices. If (a) touching a hot stove & backing away is following Dynamic Quality & (b) calculating whether one can escape through a burning room is being controlled by static patterns, I can't see why (a) is an instance of free will but not (b). Perhaps, as you suggested, free will lies in the feedback mechanism. If we make a decision without deliberation, it is a result of whatever mix of influences & moods currently exist within us. But this decision is itself something new to consider that did not exist before. If in realizing what this decision is, we reconsider it, a different decision might be made. But if conditions C result in decision D1, why would C + D1 result in decision D2?
